Where do I find my external hdd? Hassio knows it is there but

JeMaGo · January 28, 2019, 5:31pm

Hi. I’m see the disk in Hardware

In the file config.jason:

In the terminal ssh. I try to mount the drive and the result is the same (the directory exist). If I search the disk then I can’t find it.

I’m looking for your response

Hey,
finally I had time to take a closer look on your screenshots.
The mount command tells you that the /dev/sda1 directory does not exist.
The udevd lines in you dmesg output hints that even the kernel was not able to access your drive, it did show up when linux was booting and that is why you see it in hass.io-s interface.
Could you give it a try with a different hard drive or flash drive?

Thanks!
B

Thanks for your help. I’ve tried with another HD and with a flash drive, and the result is the same. Probably I’ll be doing some wrong… but I don’t know what.
This the last test that I’ve done:

I’ve created a fork for SAMBA add-on.
Here is the source code:

And this add-on respoitory can be used to install it:

After installation you need to disable protected mode on add-on page.
This version of SAMBA add-on mounts /dev/sda1 partition to /share/hdd

OK so I installed it and disabled the protection mode. Now the log says “Invalid argument”. I guess I have to enable the external hdd in some way But I don’t know how. I’m using a rpi with HassOS and just plugged the hdd in an USB port. Do I have to do something first?

Could you please provide log output?

i can not install addon-torrdlna on hassio. I click install but it not install. Please help!

Hi,
the logoutput is just:

mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /share/hdd failed: Invalid argument

and the addon is going status stopped. is there anywhere an advanced logfile?

best regards

Hi hoatienii!

The torrdlna was never a released add-on. I’ve created it only as a proof of concept earlier.
I stopped developing it when I realized that the raspberry pi is simply just not strong enough to handle these software pieces on top of hass.io.

Sorry about it.
However if you have a second Pi there are many docker containers that contain DLNA and a transmission.

Regards!
