Disk Setup Help
Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 10:26 pm
Now that I've got amahi up and running, I am trying to figure out the best thing to do with my drives.
I have the system installed on a 250 gb drive.
I now have 3 other drives that are formatted but not mounted in the hda:
1 2gb
1 2gb
1 1gb
I want to use these three drives as the storage pool but remove the 250 gb drive from the storage pool of var/hda/files. Is this even possible at this point?
I was also having some difficulties getting the drives to properly mount under the shares area.
After running hda-diskmount, I get something like this:
Mounted /dev/sdb1 as '/var/hda/files/drives/drive24'
Mounted /dev/sdc1 as '/var/hda/files/drives/drive25'
Mounted /dev/sdd1 as '/var/hda/files/drives/drive26'
The instructions say that it should read something like
Mounted /dev/sdc1 as '/var/hda/files/drives/sdc1'
So I don't know if I've done something wrong or not.
Anyhow, after adding this to /etc/fstab
UUID=xxx1 /var/hda/files ext4 defaults 1 2
UUID=xxx2 /var/hda/files ext4 defaults 1 2
UUID=xxx3 /var/hda/files ext4 defaults 1 2
and running mount -a, I get three rows of drives in the storage pool, however they all show up as 1.8GB, and if I click on one of the checkboxes another of the checkboxes will turn off. So I know I am doing something wrong, but not exactly sure what because I feel like I've followed the instructions to the letter.
Any help is appreciated.
