Does the Pysdm Gui work with the server version or just the desktop version of 12.04?

Ok. Read the guide. Added a line to fstab with following:

/dev/sdb5 /mnt/hdd2 NTFS auto,rw 0 0

When I mount manually my NTFS eternal dive /dev/sdb5 to mnt/hdd2 it works. However, after I edited fstab and re-booted, the system crashed. I had to boot in safe mode so I could replace the fstab with the original file. I'm missing something. Any ideas?

Pysdm can work , but server have not a Desktop environment , do you have a desktop environment ? If yes , you can use pysdm --- Carefully !!

NTFS is wrong .. the correct is ntfs-3g

Change the entry to this please ( I assume here that /mnt/hdd2/ is a standard folder you created .. correct? )

/dev/sdb5 /mnt/hdd2 ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137

With the entry above , you will have Read Write and Execute permissions and others will have Read - Write permissions.

Thanks

Thanks. It worked. One curious thing however, the USB drives I have connected slowed down considerably from when I mounted them manually. The Ethernet card is a 100 MB card running on a 1000MB LAN. Whereas before I was getting about 11 Mb transfer rates on long files on the USB drives it slows down to about 1 or 2 Mb. The eSATA drive is running just fine. Is this related in any way? Thanks for the help. Now if I could get my printer to work [Question #217796] I would be done for now.
Thanks again
JH

Usb transfer rate always is slow. Same thing to me .. when it starts is starts with an ostensibly high speed transfer , but ends up slow.
I believe it has to do with the filesystem and also the limited capability of USB transfer speed.

If your problem solved , then change the status to "solved" , by marking the answer that helped you.

Thanks
