[Goflex Home 3TB] Newbie help

[dannyp]

@moonman, thanks for the info, really appreciate it.

I will have a go once I get home tonight and let you know if all ok.

Just something to think about with the last step of this project of mine is to have Samba & Mysql installed and running.

Samba is okay.
Better turn off INNODB, use MYISAM, google search low memory mysql configuration, you will need that.
Also check out Samba/MySQL tutorial in ArchWiki, they are the same in ARM.

[moonman]

Samba is easy to install and configure if you follow the guide on archlinuxarm, here they put together all optimized settings in the guide (archlinux has a more thorough guide which will take more time to figure out). http://archlinuxarm.org/support/guides/ ... ions/samba

as for mysql, tomcheng has a good point regarding the storage engines, though keep in mind mysql will be pretty slow, especially with 128MB of ram. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MySQL

@ moonman, I have tried as you suggested and did the following...

tune2fs -L "main" /dev/sda2
pacman -S udev-automount

I have then rebooted the system but the output of 'df -h' is still as before....

is there a config file I also need to adjust or have I done someting wrong??

[moonman]

You can adjust the fstab if you want and add your disk partition there. But I think if autmounting doesn't work, then fstab wouldn't work as well. Also, did you do a full system upgrade with "pacman -Suy" ?

What's the output of

fdisk -l

Code: Select all

gdisk -l /dev/sda

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep sd

Make sure to wrap the output in code tags when you post.

does that help with the problem solving??

[WarheadsSE]

Where is it getting "defauly" as a mount option?

[dannyp]

I don't know, that is what the output is saying??

[dannyp]

Ok, maybe not the right way but got it working. I did the folllowing......

Code: Select all

cd /media
mkdir main

I then edited fstab and added

Code: Select all

/dev/sda2       /media/main     ext4    defaults        0       0


Did reboot and df-h now says

Code: Select all

[root@alarm ~]# df -h

[moonman]

That is interesting... where did "defauly" option come from? Did you do full upgrade as I suggested? Maybe there's some incompatibility between old and new packages.

fstab is a good solution if you won't need to dynamically mount and unmount usb flash drives/hdds later on.
