i’m running home assistant generic version on an intel nuc. no virtualization. when i try to move my database to an external drive it says there is no hard drive found. i can see that it is seeing something in hardware… any thoughts?
To easily auto mount USB drives on hassos
hi.
It’s actually simpler than you have described (and there might be other ways but I’ve never managed to have HASSIO use the alternative method to load config, the one with the CONFIG folder).
pick the USB key
You need a USB key just for the initial configuration. Once done this is no longer required, so you could use the same medium you will use later to store your media, or even a ancient old USB key with 32MB since you need this just for a text file.
prepare the USB key
As per the …
# Configuration
## Automatic
You can use an USB drive with HassOS to configure network options, SSH access to the host and to install updates.
Format a USB stick with FAT32/EXT4/NTFS and name it `CONFIG` (in all capitals). Alternative you can create a `CONFIG` folder inside the `boot` partition. Use the following directory structure within the USB drive:
```text
network/
modules/
modprobe/
udev/
authorized_keys
timesyncd.conf
hassos-xy.raucb
```
- The `network` folder can contain any kind of NetworkManager connection files. For more information see [Network][network.md].
- The `modules` folder is for modules-load configuration files.
- The `modprobe` folder is for modules configuration files (/etc/modprobe.d)
