You must change in /etc/fstab
/dev/md4 to /dev/sda4

Just wanted to add to the earlier remark

If I use the df command I get the following

[root@MyBookWorld /]# df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 2.8G 179M 2.5G 7% /
/dev/root 2.8G 179M 2.5G 7% /
/dev/md3 950M 152M 751M 17% /var

looks like /dev/md4 is not mounting

when i attempt to mount it i get the following

[root@MyBookWorld /]# mount /dev/md4
mount: Mounting /dev/md4 on /shares/internal failed: Invalid argument

Am I not using the command correctly?

This is the info from Mount under fstab

/dev/root / ext3 rw,noauto,noatime 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/md2 none swap defaults 0 0
/dev/md3 /var ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/md4 /shares/internal ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2

Not sure what is being shown (disclosure well versed in MS but linux noob)
Can you tell if it is being mounted correctly

Thanks in advance

It sounds like your md4/sda4 partition isnt being mounted properly.

a) list the contents of /etc/fstab
b) paste the output from mount

When it isn't mounted properly you will only have about 2GB of space to play with. The folder in the webinterface is actually just a samba share, which may or may not correspond to a similarly named folder on the filesystem. Once you remount the /shares/internal partition it will remap to the correct folder.

Upgrade FW 02.00.18 No longer able to access PUBLIC folder

I recently upgraded my WBI (500 GB) to FW 2.00.18 from I think 1.00.12, I was having quite a few problems with MB until i did that ie it would lose the network connection, slow transfers and all of the other know issues

After installing the new FW I am no longer able to access the PUBLIC folder. I can see it in my network neighbourhood and I can access new folders that I created after the upgrade but not the PUBLIC folder. I have attempted to use the web interface to change the permissons (to all the 3 different options) but no luck getting access

I have installed SSH and I can drill down to Shares / Internal but PUBLIC doesn't show up there either.
It only shows that there is a folder PUBLIC in the web interface and in my Network neighbourhood (when I click the folder i get the error "Windows cannot access \\Mybookworld\public")

So I thought that maybe the folder had been erased during the upgrade but when I attempt to write a large amount of files (26GB) to a new folder that I had created I get a message saying that there is not enough space

So I can't even erase the files to get the space back (although I would like to save the files all ~400GB)

FWIW when I attempt to make changes / edit files using SSH and logged in as su (using putty) it wont allow that either

any ideas?
Thanks in advance
