What type of drive do you have? If it is an older USB drive there might be compatibility issues when mounting it. As you well know, successfully mounting it is just half the battle, you also need to be able to set it up so all users can take advantage of it, and SBS needs read/write access to be happy.
I agree it does not make any remote sense the way it is set up right now for Ubuntu installs... the fact you install software via your regular admin id and that then it needs a special system permission seems pretty unique to SBS, my assumption is certain 9.10 release adjustments (Linux kernel? Gnome?) have not been made in the SBS software. I do hope by the time I migrate this machine -which doubles as my SBS engine- to 10.04LTS the available stable version of SBS (8.0?) will have made the transition. It is *both* a Linux and SBS issue. I do have a 1 page command cheatsheet for Linux I keep so that I know what I did to get things to work. It is quite annoying that about 30% of it needs to be re-written from release to release. And yes, USB drive handling was one of the major differences. It got better with 8.04 to 9.04, something changed in 9.10. And that is within Linux, because I also have to mount my NFS partition differently (some experts in the Ubuntu Forums don't quite buy it, but I have the results and the Grsync logs to prove it). -- pablolie ...pablo Server: Shuttle X27D - Ubuntu 8.04LTS - SBS 7.4.1 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71700 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
