Hi Adrian, I'm just trying this out with a 1TB mSata card. Starting with a new card, you have to ssh into the Hummingboard and partition the card, then create a new file system /dev/sda1, add a /storage mount point for /dev/sda using the SoA UI, then enable samba and add /storage to samba (in the SoA UI). After rebooting I was able to see the shared folder from my OSX machine but couldn't copy any files into it. I have since changed the owner of /storage to nobody:nobody and rebooted, and it is now copying music files over on to the mSata drive. I have installed LMS already so my next step is to set that up and see how it performs, so I will report back in a day or so. As you can't really plug mSata drives easily into another computer to set them up it would be helpful to have a short step by step guide for getting an internal mSata drive running with LMS and showing how to copy your music files onto it over the network. I'm a unix novice - when SOA created the /storage mount point, should it have changed the ownership to nobody:nobody? If this works OK I'll try to get ad-hoc wireless working and see if it can be used as a standalone server/player controlled via iPeng.
