Adding Disk issues

I'm honestly tearing my hair out here, but no doubt its an easy one.

I have 2 additional hard drives. a 2tb drive, and a 1tb drive. My ubuntu/amahi is installed on a 250gb drive.

So I created a partition on each drive using the full disk using gparted.

I ran hda-dismount and copied out the text, but it gave me this (lets say its the 2 tb drive and i removed uuid and just typed driveinfo here to save time)

sdb5 UUID=(driveinfo) then /var/hda/files/drives/drive6 ext4 defaults 1 2

So i added the following to fstab:

UUID=(driveinfo) then /var/hda/files ext4 defaults 1 2

Then ran mount -a

On the dash, I get drive 6 and a :( face and then the partition 3 in a new box with drive info.

What am i doing wrong?

Ok so after reboot the one mounted as /var.hda/files works.

The other one mounted as /var/hda/files/drives/drive6 ext4 defaults 1 2 doesnt mount?

Did you follow the wiki guidance for formatting and mounting the drives?

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding_ ... o_your_HDA

Check the path you entered in /etc/fstab to ensure it exists in the file structure. For example, /var/hda/files/drives/drive6 must exist for it to mount to that point.

thanks bigfoot. It did exist, but then i tried editing fstab and calling it drive1. This worked. The script called it drive6, but i guess as there werent 5 other drives it didnt matter.

I followed all wiki instructions. Thanks
