# External USB Drive Configuration
|
|
|
|
WROLPi expects a single USB drive to be mounted at `/media/wrolpi`. However, multiple drives are supported. WROLPi
|
|
uses special directories to know where to place downloaded files. The config special directories cannot be changed
|
|
and WROLPi will always look for it at `/media/wrolpi/config`
|
|
|
|
The default special directories are the following (the inputs are disabled because the "Edit Directories" toggle
|
|
is not checked):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 2+ drives
|
|
|
|
As of the writing of this article, WROLPi partially supports multiple drives. The _primary_ drive must be mounted to
|
|
`/media/wrolpi`, the configs will be written to this drive. The other drive must be mounted within `/media/wrolpi`.
|
|
|
|
If you wanted your _secondary_ drive named "secondary", you could mount it at `/media/wrolpi/secondary`. Linux will
|
|
ensure the files are placed in the correct drives.
|
|
|
|
### Migrating from one to two drives
|
|
|
|
Assuming that you have a WROLPi with a single external hard drive, and would like to add a second drive, follow these
|
|
steps.
|
|
|
|
1. Mount the _secondary_ drive to some path in `/media/wrolpi`. We will assume you use `/media/wrolpi/secondary` for
|
|
this example. Follow this pattern for all new drives.
|
|
1. `mkdir /media/wrolpi/secondary`
|
|
2. `mount /dev/sdb1 /media/wrolpi/secondary`
|
|
2. Decide where WROLPi will download files.
|
|
1. WROLPi will download videos to `/media/wrolpi/videos` by default. If you want WROLPi to save new videos to
|
|
the secondary drive, edit the "Videos Directory" in `Admin > Settings > Special Directories` to something like
|
|
`secondary/videos`.
|
|
2. Do this for all special directories.
|
|
3. You can keep all special directories in the _primary_ drive, WROLPi will still search the _secondary_ drive for
|
|
any new files.
|
|
3. Make the drive mounts permanent by modifying `/etc/fstab`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/dev/sda1 /media/wrolpi auto defaults,nofail 0 0 # primary
|
|
/dev/sdb /media/wrolpi/secondary auto defaults,nofail 0 0 # secondary
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Verify that the mounts are correct by rebooting.
|
|
- `sudo reboot`
|
|
5. [Refresh your files](../modules/files/index.md#refreshing)
|
|
|
|
# Default fstab
|
|
|
|
This is an example default fstab on a Raspberry Pi:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
|
PARTUUID=4f724c6e-01 /boot/firmware vfat defaults 0 2
|
|
PARTUUID=4f724c6e-02 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
|
|
/dev/sda1 /media/wrolpi auto defaults,nofail 0 0
|
|
# a swapfile is not a swap partition, no line here
|
|
# use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off] for that
|
|
``` |
