Hooking up an external disk to the BenHur 2-20

by Volker Weber

The good news: It can be done. The bad news: You don't want to. Reason: The BenHur²-20 has only a USB 1.1 port. At least my hardware revision has. In case you do need to hook up a disk before Pyramid releases the LVM (logical volume manager), here's how you do it:

  1. Login with ssh admin@your.benni.network.address
  2. Make yourself root with su -
  3. Find the disk with fdisk -l
  4. Look for /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
  5. If it does not contain partitions create a primary partition with
    cfdisk /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
  6. Format the partition with mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
  7. Add the disk to /etc/fstab like so:
    /dev/sda1 /export/__shares__/external ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 0 0

Hallo,

wie kann ich eine 2. interne Festplatte "dauerhaft" in einen BenHur Server anbinden? Mit "mount" wird diese zwar erkannt, nach einem reboot ist diese leider wieder weg.

Genau wie oben beschrieben: durch Eintragen in /etc/fstab. Halt dann statt /dev/sda1 eben /dev/hdb1 ...
