Have pool built and want to mount unused disk to copy data from
Get disk mapping:
ls /dev/da*
Make mount location:
mkdir /mnt/mydrive
Mount it:
mount -t [**ufs/ext4/etc**] [**drive mapping**] /mnt/mydrive
Copy your data.
Unmount it:
umount /mnt/mydrive
can i do this from option 6: open TrueNAS CLI shell?
Yes, those are for the shell.
i see account,app,auth,docker,network,etc after ls /dev/da*
can’t “mkdir /mnt/mydrive” says mkdir not found
mkdir not found? Where are you typing this?
‘ls /dev/da*’ also shouldn’t show ‘account, app, auth, docker, network, etc’
Depending how you connect the drive (usb, sata, sas), or what type of drive it is (ssd, nvme, etc) will determine what type of disk it is. You didn’t give that information, so I am not sure. You can do this to list all mappings:
ls /dev
option 7 is the correct option for linux shell when connected to monitor. i did find the shell via the UI. Only been using for about an hour so complete newb on this platform. the drive is dev/sde and ntfs. what is the mount command for that?
anyone know what the mount command for ntfs will be?
If it’s NTFS, I don’t know if Scale is able to mount it.
Why not copy it to your TrueNAS pool over SMB?
cause i already have it connected in the same NAS. I could do it with UNRAID by using rsync -av /mnt/user// /mnt/disks//
Not sure why this isn’t easier in both platforms? I’m sure happens all the time with USB connected externals
if I can’t mount the disk to /mnt/mydrive does anyone else have an idea to copy from unassigned ntfs disk to the pool?
any way to use this old tidbit?
mkdir /mnt/mydrive
kldload fuse
ntfs-3g /dev/sde1 /mnt/mydrive
