[SOLVED] Beginner add disk

[saitan]

Good morning,

I'm a beginner and I need help. I discover this fantastic firmware, and I installed with success on my 5big.
now, I try to add another disk, but i'm lost with tutorials.

I follow the steps detailled in Add additonal disks instruction document.

- Making gpt partition table using gdisk
commands :

Code: Select all

gdisk /dev/sdb
x
l
4096
m
n
8
5804032  (start sector)
(enter)  (end sector)
8300
w
y
mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/sdb8

I got now :

Code: Select all

Partition table holds up to 128 entries

Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries

I saw both Vol-A and Vol-B in "disk setup", but in File Share, I didn't have Vol-B available ?
More, I don't know what is best, have 2 shares with 2TB or get an array 0 with these.
My objective is to get a media NAS to share all at home.

Hi saitan,

Maybe you did not note this:
After installing fvdw-sl, only one share is created by default: public on volume Vol-A. So on the main File share menu, you see only Vol-A. But if you try to create another share on the edit share menu you will see Vol-A and Vol-B volumes:

Note: it is a screen capture with my development NAS and on the next version (17.0) you can rename the volume name, so the screen capture contains custom volume name.

Salut Jocko,

I already try to create another share, but :

So there is an issue somewhere...

Can you post these outputs:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/platform
mount
file -bs /dev/sdb8
/etc/api/nasapi.php "mrvlGetVolume high all"

Code: Select all

Est-ce que ce ne serais pas ça : [formatting] => 1 ?

[Jocko]

Yes the issue is on the fs. It seems format command failed and then the volume can not be mounted.

So do

Code: Select all

mke2fs -t ext3 -j -m 1 /dev/sdb8

(post the output)

if file command returns ext3, try to restart the nas

[saitan]

Yeah! Thank you, now visible
