dev/sda1: LABEL="2TB WD" UUID="5102-AA4B" TYPE="exfat"Īdd this line to the bottom of your fstab, substituting your UUID, mount point and filesystem. Next we’ll find our device UUID and filesystem type. To get it to automatically mount on boot, we need to add it to our /etc/fstab file. Great, we have access to our files at /mnt/ext now. We’ll go ahead and create a mount point for our drive and mount it.
Above you can see I have my 32GB SD card (mmcblk0) with the OS installed, and a my external HDD (sda) with a 2TB partition at /dev/sda1 Plug in your USB drive and run the following to get a list of storage devices. What use is a media server if you have nowhere to store your media? This will walk you through auto-mounting an external drive upon boot. The following guide assumes you are running a Debian based distribution (Ubuntu, Raspbian, etc.) Other distros will be similar but not exactly the same. This is fine until you want to stream movies to smart TVs or game consoles. One that is cheap to keep running 24/7 and one that is stable and reliable and ready whenever you need it.įor a long time now, I’ve had my Pi sitting serving the occasional web page, a torrent daemon, Samba shares and SSH. If this sounds remotely familiar, you may want to think about setting up a home media server. Additionally, any of these computers could be on or off at any one time. Some of these computers were laptops, which meant things may or may not be avaliable at any given time. Videos, Pictures and Music was spread across any one of 4 or 5 computers on the home network. My home network has long been rather fragmented. Another quick guide to show you how to set up a Raspberry Pi as a DLNA/UPnP media server using an external hard drive as storage.
