Please show more computer evidence of what you are telling. Like fstab listings, partition tales and more you say you have, but you do not show.
\QUOTE]
what evidence do you need? and on the same note why do I need to “show any evidence”? and evidence of what exactly ? I am not accusing anyone of anything. I am asking a question that I can not find a solution for.
I am giving a lot of information that should be enough to give a suggestion or at least
point me to the right direction. at the moment I do not have access to the machine to give a print out of fstab.
as for partition tables :
I have 5 HDD in the system. I originally planed to have a bootable BTRFS RAID1 configuration but it did not worked as I expected so scraped the plan
here is my hardware and partitioning :
SYSTEM DRIVES : split root"/" and “/home” partitions among 2 drives
sda - 1TB WD drive
|-> sda1 1TB BTRFS label <ROOT> mountpoint “/”
sdb - 1TB WD drive
|-> sdb1 1TB BTRFS label <HOME> mountpoint “/home”
sdc 2TB hitachi drive
|-> sdc1 2TB BTRFS label<DATA1> mountpoint “/DATASTORE1”
– this drives are setup from CLI as a BTRFS multidevice volume on raw devices no partitions defined, and appear empty from Yast/partitioner (Yast does not support multidevice BTRFS setup. single drive only). however “btrfs fi show” returns a 3TB BTRFS volume in RAID1 configration for Data and MetaData
sdd - 3TB WD drive
sde - 3TB WD drive
code used to setup the 3TB
mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 label MEDIA1 /dev/sdd /dev/sde
this creates a single volume spread across 2 drives.
I have seen many examples where /media is used to create a mountpoints for drives that need to be mounted on startup by the system. I do not want to mount this manually I want to set it up and forget it untl I need to add more drives or such.
I thought that “/mnt” was used for temporary mounting of devices and/or file systems not for permanent mounts.
am I wrong in that assumptions?
I am building a file server / VM server
all data volumes, and the plan is to have at least 3 main data stores, will be shared via Samba to be accessible to any device on the network and any VM that needs it. (plan to build out a owncloud VM to share things over the Internet. maybe even use that as main share hub for everything.)
so I want to automount all data volumes that I plan to be shareable on start up so samba can find them and present it as shares.
can you suggest something constructive for this scenario?
