Mountpoint of external HDD

[thorsten]

NethServer Version: 7,5
Module: backup

Hi,

I plugged in a USB-HDD to my Proxmox VE system and assigned the device to the Nethserver VM. After reboot - voila - I can use it for backups

But where is the mount point?
fdisk -l says its is \dev\sdb

I would like to use it for some data, too

THX

Found some threads about integrating new HDD, just add it to /etc/fstab:

Add new HDD. Samba mount

If someone is interested. This online translation. Sorry. I did not mean for LVM to add the new HDD. But we do know that the Samba share. In my solution is: The installation of a HDD. The HDD has seen sdb1. fdisk /dev/sdb1 n 1, and the primary partition is created. w mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 mkdir /var/lib/nethserver/ibay/sdb1 Then I recorded the /etc/fstab /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/nethserver/ibay/sdb1 auto defaults,acl,user_xattr 0 0 That works for me without problems.

How modify fstab to add swap or other disk permanently?

Follow this: create new share on web gui e.g newshare create filesystem: mkfs.xfs /dev/sdxx (where sdxx is partition on new disk, also can be mdxxx if You’re using raid) get disk filesystem UUID by: ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ echo "UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx /var/lib/nethserver/ibay/newshare xfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab shutdown -h now change ownership of new share (in my case initially was root:root) chown youruser:yourgroup newshare or re-add sambashare newsha…

Hi Markus,

this is not what I meant, sorry for not asking precisely. My question is:
Nethserver recognize the attached HDD well, but I do not find mount mounts where I expepected: /media and /mnt are empty.

I do not find mount mounts where I expepected

You need to create the mount point. So, if you want the disk to be mounted at /mnt/usbdisk, do mkdir /mnt/usbdisk.

The backup module mounts the disk when it needs to, makes the backup and unmounts it.

Thanks, this explains why I did not find it in the mount points …
