Disk manager6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Should not create disk entry if mount to is invalid or empty Lvm entities using different name for same device Please raise bugs under the SME-Contribs section inĪnd select the smeserver-usbdisksmanager component or use This option allows filenames with international characters to be written and read by both Windows XP and the SME server. Because FAT32 does not support the UTF-8 character set, the following option must be added to the mount options: This is convenient as it allows portability between the SME Server and a Windows machine. These will mount through the vfat driver. Off-the-shelf pre-formated FAT32 disks can be mounted. Please consider this before putting information on your drive to format it correctly. There is a known limit to this contrib : it can't handle drives that have only one partition that is called without a number : i mean : /dev/sda as partition instead of /dev/sda1. Your drive can't be mounted thanks to usb disk manager If it is not correct for UUID see the section above concerning how to add a UUID (you need a UUID to use this contrib) * (accept the suggested first & last cylinder values)Ĥ- format your new partition ( change X with what is needed for you, and same thing for the 1 if you have done more than one partition on your new drive)ħ- add a Label (change X to what is needed for you, same thing for the 1 if needed)Ĩ- check everything is OK: UUID, Label (change X to what is needed for you, same thing for the 1 if needed) : * 1 (that's the number one, the number you want to assign to the partition) * if there is one, you should probably exit to see what is on this partition, and avoid to delete something wrong, just do: q * p ( to check if there is already a partition on this drive) Never format your drive under windows with a software like partition magic TM, you will fail using this drive because of some error resulting oon the format: impossible to create a UUID and other kind of things that are needed.ġ- connect to you SME console, and connect the drive (USB/firewire)Ģ- search for connected drive with this command:ģ- create a new partition (change X for the letter that correspond to your drive): *If you are not 100% certain of what you do just format your drive on another computer UNDER linux. ĭrive named /dev/md+ are some kind of software image of the real drives due to the LVM/ software RAID of SME.īe carrefull when you choose your drive not to choose one of your system drive !. But if you have some SATA or SCSI drives thay will have same kind of name that can have a removable drive : sda. If you have only IDE (ATA) drives on your server there is no problem as they will be named: /dev/hd1 (hda, hdb, hdc.). You must be aware that a removable device SHOULD have name like /dev/sd1 (sda, sdb, sdc. ("device" should be sda1 if it is the partition you wants to point to, and "MyLabel" to whatever you wants) ("device" should be sda1 if it is the partition you wants to point to) Status media : enable or disable auto mount into /media directory (need to have the option enabled into the configuration)Ĭonnect to command line and execute as it seems to be impossible to do through the cgi interface: Status : enable or disable auto mount to the defined directory for this drive (need to have the contrib set to enabled into configuration) Options Mount : mount options for this drive (see man mount) MountTo : directory where you want to mount this drive The use of the command mount to is to mount to your customized folder. The use of the command mount is to mount to the folder created thanks to HAL in /media. To allow to auto mount you need to enable in the configuration "Status", then add your drive and set a mount point that really exists and finally set this drive to enable Status /media/ unknown : enable or disable auto mount in /media/ of unknown drives Status /media/ known : enable or disable auto mount in /media/ of known drives Status : enable or disable the automatic job completly Be carefull you will need to compil appletalk, ppp an slip kmod for the kernel you choose (centosplus one or you own).įrequency : in minutes between two disk check (CRON job) If you want to use a firewire disk you need to use your own compiled kernel or the one from centosplus or adding kernel module thanks to atrpms. Uninstall rpm -e smeserver-usbdisksmanagerįirewire is not fully implemented in centos (so SME) kernel. Update yum update smeserver-usbdisksmanager -enablerepo=smecontribs Installation yum install smeserver-usbdisksmanager -enablerepo=smecontribs All you have to do is to add kernel module thanks to atrpms or to centosplus. It can also handle firewire ieee1394 disks. Unnilennium aka Jean-Philippe PIALASSE (Contrib)ĭisk Manager usage adds a panel to the server-manager showing attached USB drives. The latest version of smeserver-usbdisksmanager is available in the SME repository, click on the version number(s) for more information. ![]()
