Title: USB-drive problems
Post by: sokrates on February 10, 2007, 01:09:12 PM: Hi everybody.

I'm running SME7 on a Pentium III-1000, Compaq deskpro. Looking for a bit more diskspace i bought a 250G Toshiba usb-harddrive. But its impossible to access the drive. SME doesn't automount, and i don't have a clue where to find and mount the drive.
It's not the hardware, because the drive is found and mounted perfectly on a live CD running Ubuntu.

My question is: Where can i find the USB-drive? Did i miss something in the configuration?

Post by: wjhobbs on February 11, 2007, 04:13:38 PM: Try:

# sfdisk -s

This should list all the attached partitions and their sizes.

In the normal course of events, I would expect your USB drive, when connected and turned on, to be at /dev/sda.

Post by: Jean-Philippe Pialasse on February 11, 2007, 05:27:18 PM: just cat /etc/fstab

first is it formated?

then
a line at the end must have been created with /dev/ and /media/usbdisk (or the label of the disk partition if there is one)

it is not auto mounted but a line to mount it easily is added

so you can mount it just with mount /media/usbdisk (or similar with label )

Code: [Select]
blkid

is another solution to list all attached drives

If you want an auto mount option you will enjoy usbdisksmanager : http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/jppialasse/SME7/smeserver-usbdisksmanager-0.1-0.5.noarch.rpm

There is no automount or anything in fstab concerning the usb-drive. But strangely enough the system says there's a usb-drive present.
I'm just totally clueless on where to find the drive.

Code: [Select]
sfdisk -s /dev/hda: 80043264 /dev/md2: 79931328 /dev/md1: 104320

That's it
