Summary

Sometimes WAVE will not display a hard drive as available for storage. This article provides instructions to properly mount the drive and change the mount path.

NOTE: These steps can also be used for installing a new hard drive.

Mounting a Drive

To mount a drive:

1. Click the Linux Start button to launch the Disks application.

   NOTE: This button is represented by nine dots arranged in a box formation in the 
   lower left of the default desktop.

   
   
   
2. Enter disks in the Search bar and click the Disks icon.
   
   
   
   
3. From the menu tree on the left, select the storage disk volume to configure.

   WARNING: Do NOT STOP or FORMAT the OS disk, doing so will damage your system's
   OS disk. The OS disk is generally 30gb or smaller.

4. Click the Plus (+) button to create the partition.
   
   
   
   
5. Enter the Partition Size.
   
   
   
   
6. Enter a Volume Name, select the Internal disk for use with Linux systems only (Ext4) radio button, the click Create.
   
   
   
   
7. Reboot the WAVE Server.
   
   
8. Open WAVE Client and navigate to Server Settings > Storage Management.
   
   
9. Enable each drive you require WAVE to begin recording on.
   
   

NOTE: Repeat steps 1-9 for each storage drive.

Changing the Mount Path

If you are still not seeing your drive, you may need to change the mount path.

To change the mount path:

1. Click the Linux Start button to launch the Disks application.
   
   
2. Click the Gears () button.
   
   
3. Select Edit Mount Options.
   
   
   
   
4. Turn User Session Defaults to OFF.
   
   
5. Uncheck Show in user interface.
   
   
6. Select /dev/sda from the Identify As Menu drop-down menu. 
   

   NOTE: sd is a prefix and will proceed as sda, sdb, sdc, etc.

   
   
   
7. Reboot the WAVE Server.
