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.
I've given up with the drive and am currently fighting with it on an old PC.
So does anybody want a Netgear SC101 without drives but with the correct power supply?
I live just outside Norwich but if it would help, I come into Norwich quite often and could probably make one of the meetings at the Coach and Horses on Thorpe Road.
