Hi Gurus!
I've been given a Netgear SC101 which I'm intending to use for backups. I found a post somewhere about how to mount it, and I have mounted it, or at least I thought I had until I rebooted and it was no-longer mounted.
The steps I have to take are:
sudo modprobe nbd sudo ut listall sudo ut attach {DRIVE_ID_FROM_LISTALL} /dev/nbd0 sudo mount -t ext4 /mnt/sc101 /dev/nbd0
I bought one of those from a local cheapcycle offering.
I want to use a drive from an ex-Windows PC on it - a 250GB Western Digital drive but I'm not sure how I should partition/format it before stuffing it into the SC101.
Can anybody advise what I should do please? Perhaps I should add that I have plugged the drive into the Netgear but it just sits there for ages blinking the error (power) LED.
Problem solved!
As I was sending this, the message from Jim Rippon came down so I'm now reading that.
Moral - don't be in so much of a hurry!
