Possible incorrect location of mount points

[townsend]

Hi Everyone,

New user here. I just completed my first live install after playing around with Amahi the last two weeks on a spare box to learn. I followed all the wikis and tutorials, but just realized I made a small boo boo and wanted to check and see if it was a problem.

I installed with just one drive in the box as suggested in the wiki. After I had Amahi installed and working, I went ahead and added my two SATA drives. Because of the way my server's motherboard is set up, the two data drives ended up being sda1 and sda2, and the install drive is now sdc1 with the swap on sdc5. I followed the instructions in the wiki to the letter, except for one small mistake. The wiki I used was [wiki]Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA[/wiki] under the section, "Manually setting up the disk mount order" suggested making the mount point of the new drives:

/var/hda/files/drives/drive1
/var/hda/files/drives/drive2
etc...

In my zeal to get done and play, I erroneously made the following mounts points:

/var/hda/drives/drive1 for /dev/sda1
/var/hda/drives/drive2 for /dev/sdb1

Everything seems to be working ok, but I don't want to run into problems down the road. I haven't enabled pooling, and actually tried to stop greyhole until such time as I can acquire a second large drive for pooling.

So, the questions are: does this need to get fixed, or is it ok as is? Is there any potential problem down the road if I don't fix it?

I figured I could fix it be deleting the share in the Amahi control panel, create the folders I need and use a mv command to move the contents to the correct folder, fix my fstab and then reboot. After rebooting I could recreate the shares and should be where I need to be. Not a ton of work, but everything is working smoothly after many reinstalls as I learned, and the old "if it ain't broke don't fix it" thought keeps creeping into my mind.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Gary

You can make the mount point for the drives anything you want. The naming is a personal preference. You could have left them as drive1 and drive2. I make mine match the actual drive dev, i.e. sdb, sdc, etc.

Awesome. That's what I thought, but I wanted to check just in case some of the directories under /var/hda had to be organized a certain way.

Thanks for the speedy response!

Best,

Gary
