Amahi Forums

Hi

I've installed amahi from DVD to ssd disk.
All this done with the rest of my harddrives unplugged.
After finished install etc. I shut down amahi, plugged in my drives, and booted up the 'nas'.

I see the drives ... but they're not initialized (the weren't formatted beforehand).. how do I get them up & running?

Check out how to add additional drives in the wiki.

I followed that guide but I fail at running gparted.. I get:

(gpartedbin:1444): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

from putty

and same from ssh in a shell via amahi..

I see I need to use 'parted' and do it via CLI.

Yes it has to be done via command line. I would recommend you use cfdisk. It is simpler to me to use.

We are working on a disk wizard for Amahi, but it's months away from being ready. The CLI method is not too bad. I have done it so many times I can do it in my sleep now LOL

I think I've got 1 drive up.

I've mounted it here:

/var/hda/files/drives/drive2

via

mount /dev/sda drive2

but I am a bit confused on how to actually use it in Amahi..

Maybe I should start by reading the rest of the guide from wiki:-)

Yes that would be a good starting point. Most add drives to be used by Greyhole. You can also create a new share and point it to that drive if you so desire.

thanks.. I need that greyhole thing.. so much easier to handle when you have multiple larger drives..

will be reading up on that just now..

It's pretty easy to set up and configure. Will be even better when we get the UI plugin done.
