I am looking for an easy way to mount a usb drive without having to type in command line instructions.  Is there an easy way to do this?  My need is to simply copy files to or from the attached ntfs or fat 32 drive.  Not include it in the array.  I have installed the 3Gfs??  pluginn for NTFS support.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Search for SNAP in User Customizations.

+1 for SNAP,

 

Once SNAP has been configured, fire up midnight commander and your all set to transfer files with ease.

OK I have SNAP loaded and was able to pull up Midnight Commander.  Neither of these tools I would call easy as it requires me to log in to the system, know the serial number of the drive to get it mounted.  BTW I was not able to do anyway but I didnt put much time in it.

 

So I guess my question is still is there an EASY way to do this.  I find that with UnRaid menu managing the array to be relatively straight forward not requiring me to do command line instructions.  Is there nothing comparable for the occasional USB attached drive??

 

Thanks for the help so far.

you can mount a drive from unmenu under diskmanagement

but depending on the filesystem on that drive you might need to install support for other filesystems from unmenu packages

 

just tried this with a USb drive

 

this shows up in the logs

and he shows up under diskmanagement

usb-HP_v125w_6E960C1C2F39-0:0	*	4G	/dev/sdq			
partition (3,909,696 blocks):	 		/dev/sdq1		CEBE-F105TYPE

 

but nothing to mount him

guess because i have no ntfs installed ?

 

it works with non-formatted drives and reiserfs formatted drives for sure...

 

my usb thumb is formatted with fat32 guess that is the reason ?

have no other usb thunbs around for the moment ...

will test later
