To get SBS to allow you to use a directory on your NTFS formatted drive
as the Music Folder, you'll need to explicitly mount the drive in fstab.
This is the script I use to configure fstab for this purpose. You may
need to modify this or do the similar steps manually as this script
assumes that the system only has a single NTFS partition.
config-fstab.sh
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/bash
#-------------------------------------------------------
# Script to set the 1st ntfs formatted device to auto-mount
# via fstab using its UUID
#
MOUNTPOINT=/mnt/media
#-------------------------------------------------------
# Backup fstab...
MOUNTFILE=/etc/fstab
cp -f $MOUNTFILE $MOUNTFILE.bak
#-------------------------------------------------------
# Set up mount points..
if [ ! -d "$MOUNTPOINT" ];
then
echo "Creating $MOUNTPOINT"
mkdir "$MOUNTPOINT"
chmod 777 "$MOUNTPOINT"
fi
if [ ! -d /mnt/backup ];
then
echo 'Creating /mnt/backup'
mkdir /mnt/backup
chmod 777 /mnt/backup
fi
if [ ! -d /mnt/usb ];
then
echo 'Creating /mnt/usb'
mkdir /mnt/usb
chmod 777 /mnt/usb
fi
#-------------------------------------------------------
# Remove any existing ntfs-3g mount points..
sed -i '/ntfs-3g/d' $MOUNTFILE
#-------------------------------------------------------
# Get the 1st NTFS formatted device..
NTFSDEV=`blkid | grep "ntfs" | sed -e 's/\(^.*\)\:.*$/\1/'`
ISMOUNTED=`mount -l | grep "$NTFSDEV"`
if [ -n "$NTFSDEV" ];
then
if [ -n "$ISMOUNTED" ];
then
echo "Unmounting $NTFSDEV.."
umount "$NTFSDEV"
fi
else
echo 'No NTFS formatted devices found!!'
exit 0
fi
#get the UUID for the device..
HDUUID=`/sbin/blkid -o value -s UUID $NTFSDEV`
if [ -n "$HDUUID" ];
then
echo "Setting $NTFSDEV to automount in $MOUNTFILE using uuid $HDUUID.."
echo "UUID=$HDUUID
/mnt/media ntfs-3g rw,defaults,noatime,umask=0000
0 2" >>$MOUNTFILE
mount -a
echo 'Device mounted:'
mount -l | grep "fuseblk"
exit 0
else
echo "No UUID for device $NTFSDEV !!!"
exit 0
fi
exit 0
--------------------
You should end up with an entry like:
Code:
--------------------
UUID=9C2C008A5C00233E
/mnt/media ntfs-3g rw,defaults,noatime,umask=0000
0 2
--------------------
..in your /etc/fstab file.
If you then:
# mount -a
..your ntfs partition should end up mounted at: /mnt/media and you can
point SBS to the appropriate directory off of that.
If you somehow screw up /etc/fstab and the machine hangs on boot, just
press "s" on the keyboard and the system should continue booting up and
you'll be able to fix or delete the offending fstab entry. (Thanks to
epoch1970 for telling me about that!)
Re finding the SBS ip address: static IPs are your friends. Again,
here's a script I use for configuring static ips. Modify this so you
get the IP address you want and so that it matches your subnet (i.e.
your subnet may be 192.168.1.x or 10.0.0.x rather than 192.168.0.x.
Check the IP address of the machine when running under windows and you
could safely set the static IP to that.).
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo 'Configuring networking..'
cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.org
echo 'Configuring eth0..'
chkconfig network-manager off
chkconfig networking on
cat >/etc/network/interfaces <<NET1;
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.102
gateway 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
NET1
/etc/init.d/networking restart
