Do you mean the OS I'm using to connect to Amahi? Or the OS of Amahi? I thought Amahi was the OS. I used the headless install.
Amahi is an add on to an OS, in this case Fedora 19. It's not it's own distro.
Will mounting the drive wipe them? If not, why doesn't Amahi just see the drives and connect them?
No it will just make them available to Amahi and the OS.
Command line? Did I just step out of a Delorean? Nevermind. Not worth it. Windows won't make me jump through hoops like this. Not looking for something that's harder to use.
Most linux servers require some command line. If you are looking for all GUI, Amahi might not be for you. Consider checking out OpenMediaVault distro. It is pretty much GUI driven for everything from a web browser.
This why Linux is still not ready for prime time. Instead of one working OS, they duplicate effort making pet flavors, ensuring none of them will be able to compete. Having to deal with command line == instant failure. It's 2014, not 1994.
Linux works quite well for those who know how to use it. Expecting it to be all GUI driven for FREE is ludicrous. Using command line has nothing to do with today versus the past decades, it's normal for Linux and most server platforms. I have worked with many server OS in the corporate world and most require command line.
Flame away. I'm deleting this account. Amahi wasted several hours of my life.
If your software isn't ready for release... work on until it is.
Sorry you feel you have wasted your time. Perhaps putting in more research before jumping into something would be best for you.
Amahi is ready for release, but obviously you are not ready for Amahi. We have thousands of users who work with Amahi as their home server every day. While we do have some rough edges to polish, it's not as bad as you have indicated. For a product that is pretty much FREE, it works quite well for many home users.
