Through the NetMAX interface, you can mount a hard drive that has data on it, but not make it into a NetMAX volume. Here is what you need to do:
- Create a directory in the /var/mnt directory called 'MyDisk' (or whatever you wish to call it), with the full path '/var/mnt/MyDisk'.
- Mount the disk. (ex: mount -t fstype /dev/hdX /var/mnt/MyDisk)
- In the NetMAX interface, select Home | Sharing | File Sharing | Home Paths. Then, create a new path for this hard drive. Please note that once on the general tab for Paths, you cannot select the directory for the path, so you must type it in by hand. For example, type into the Path field '/MyDisk', or for any subdirectory, it could be '/Mydisk/Subdirectory'. Choose what is needed or setup owners or file permissions from the Security page.
- Store and commit. The disk will then be shared.
- To make this permanent, add your disk as an entry in /etc/fstab.
These steps might not be necessary once the operating system recognizes the SCSI devices as in the Red Hat 6.x systems.
Make sure that you read the man pages for fstab (man fstab) before editing it.
