davephillips, I think you want to change how Ubuntu is mounting the drive - I assume you are going to leave the drive attached permanently? If so, then you want to edit your fstab file.
The problem is that Ubuntu is mounting the files with a umask of 077, and so the files are not visible by the Slimserver daemon. If you dismount the drive, using the umount command, and remount using something like: mount /dev/sdf1 /media/disk -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8=true,umask=000 If you use a uid of 1000, then the disk will mount as if it is owned by the account you logged in as at the console. Otherwise, the files should show as being owned by root. Either way you will be able to set your music directory in Slimserver, and scan it. The ultimate solution of course is to edit your fstab file to mount the file system properly everytime Ubuntu boots up. An fstab entry would look something like: /dev/sdf1 /media/disk vfat defaults,utf8,umask=000,gid=46 0 1 I hope this helps. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36590 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
