Add an External USB Raid Drive
« on: January 26, 2015, 12:07:34 am »
Hello,
I am trying to add an external USB raid drive.  I have partitioned it as one large partition and formatted ext4.  Here is the output from blkid:
 sudo blkid
/dev/sda2: UUID="5f9c233c-45a8-4380-92cc-ba573cdfd03a" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sda3: UUID="pIAN8x-eRfB-tiFS-cgIU-1DyO-wwf1-LDAEPO" TYPE="LVM2_member"
/dev/mapper/absolute5--vg-root: UUID="22a1b4ab-221f-4a0f-a6f9-5c331c20f50c" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/mapper/absolute5--vg-swap_1: UUID="a162c99d-b195-495e-857b-688c892b1434" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="6ab94a73-9d73-4473-bbf9-1281eb972302" TYPE="ext4"


I have edited /etc/fstab and added:
UUID=6ab94a73-9d73-4473-bbf9-1281eb972302    /media/data    ext4    acl,users,noauto,errors=remount-ro    0    1

saved the file and rebooted.  When i do a mount here is the result:

mount
/dev/mapper/absolute5--vg-root on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota,acl,user_xattr)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (rw)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=52428800)
none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
none on /run/user type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=104857600,mode=0755)
none on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw)
/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
systemd on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,none,name=systemd)


Ultimately I would like to keep shares and user data on this external raid.  Can I do that?

All help is greatly appreciated!
