Amahi Forums

I'm running Fedora 14 and just waiting patiently for Amahi to be released. Now that that is out of the way..

I added some drives to my server with the partition table as GPT and ext4 file systems.
hda-diskmount couldn't find them.

In the "drivesext=" line, I changed to and it found and mounted them right away.

Not being super Linux savvy, I don't know if there is a situation where this would be a bad idea, but I thought I would throw it out there.

could you go into some detail on how to get into the script and change the line? methinks many of us will end up with 3tb+ drives soon enough

No problem.

1) Open /usr/sbin/hda-diskmount in nano, gedit, vi whatever floats your boat. I prefer nano, e.g. "nano /usr/sbin/hda-diskmount".
2) Find the line "# Now for the real work". It's at line 54 for me. I presume everyone has the same version of this file.
3) Goto the last line in that block. It starts with "drivesext=".
4) Change "grep -i 'Linux'" to "egrep -iw 'Linux|GPT'". Removing the double quotes of course. And don't miss the single quote next to the last double quote.

I changed that and it mounted my disks without any trouble at all.

thanks. not bad for a linux newb

we just tentatively applied this patch to the tool and will be testing it more locally, then release it.

thanks!
