Mounting the second HDD

[jassie]

Hi I have a slight issue, I have set up a second HDD on my duo2 as per this thread:

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?44391-Vu-second-HDD

Now I am trying to mount that HDD as well as the one which is fitted internally using the network browser so I can watch both on the solo2 in the other room, however whatever I do it only shows me the internal one, is there anyway I can see the one connected via usb also? Many thanks:p

How is it formatted? have you tried formatting it on the box?

So, how have you actually connected this second drive, and what steps have you taken to mount it? (Hmmmm....you do actually mention USB).
Have you mounted it (Setup -> ViX -> Mount Manager -> Setup Mounts[Green button])? Probably as /media/hdd2.

The second hard drive is connected via usb and showing as /media/usb and working fine on the duo2, but I want to try and set up a mount on my solo2 so I can watch what's on it from the other room as well. I am trying to do this via network browser without joy:confused:

might need nfs or samba on both boxes to be discovered on your network,i tried samba a while back and not worked and told to use nfs,thats on all my boxes now -nfs.:D

cheers mate, I have nfs enabled on both, but now neither receiver is allowing access to the others internal HDD after a software update on the solo, reading up seems to suggest this is a common problem for basically everyone:(

Not a common problem, multiple drives can be mounted properly if formatted properly.

think i lost one and found it had unmounted,one has to recheck everything.

All Hard drives have been formatted properly from the start, they have all previously been used internally on VU+ receivers and mounted on the network without problems, no changes have been made to them, so what am I doing wrong and what might be the procudere to check if everything is ok? thanks

Blue button - ViX - Mount Manger.
Set mounts as you need them?

cheers mate, had checked that they're showing ok, i was concerned about the mounts on the network not the receiver itself, they are fine on the receiver, I will test the samba setting as per another thread when I can get to the other receiver, cheers:)
