(Solved) adding drive to share with

[HackitZ]

Ok before you laugh, yell, or just shake your head. let me say i have been searching for the answer for over 4 hours and just can't figure this out.

I have subsonic on a debian server (omv). i have 5 drives connected and want to have my music on /dev/sde1/music. now i first thought i could just add this and tada i'd have music.

well as i have now learned it's not so simple.

I have a funny feeling that i need to move subsonic to the drive i have my music? or maybe i'm tired and to new to see the easy way to do this.

So whether you laughed, cried or held up your first could someone point me in the right direction on how to add media folders to subsonic.

Thank You

OK - first let me say upfront I'm not a Linux user, but I've seent this sort of thing often enough here on the forums to guess that this is usually related to access permissions. The subsonic program or service needs to have read access to the shares where your files are stored.

Thanks for the reply,

As i run subsonic on a omv box, i figure i need to see if someone in the omv froum can help.
omv has a gui to add users and change the acl list.

I have already added the subsonic user to omv and added that user to the drive with my music. but still get no media folders.

here's the options i have tried.
/dev/sdg1/music
/mnt/dev/sdg1/music
/mnt/sdg1/music

I have been reading about permissions but find myself getting overwhelmed with all the different steps to try. plus i'm nervous if i change the permissions in terminal; and cause another issue within omv.

P.S omv = Open Media Vault

Thanks again for the help.

Code: Select all

ok I was able to add the folder i wanted, using this.
/media/39d40c6d-97fc-489f-830c-0fd72a4160f7//Music//

not sure if it's the right way but for now it works.
