help !! missed my SB

Hi all,

i tried to download and install it and so far its been successfull however i don't know how to tell the server where is my music folder

i tried with /media/hda2/music (its d:/my files/music on windows) but server still does not recognized it. Some people said perhaps that my disk still unmount or slimserver does not have permission yet so how do i check those possibility out ?

my HD condition is partition:

1. windows NTFS
2. media FAT32
3. linux EXT3
4. swap

i am able to view FAT32 folder as well to run its music content on xmms apps. music also sounds well with no detected problem.

this is my fstab content:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/hda2 /media/hda2 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0


there was a guy who recommend me to slip some code on fstab file but i can't do that as my user (eri) does not allow me to write on this file (with reason i am not the owner) but i am the owner !!!

I guess your music is on /dev/hda2, likewise that you can view the content in some kind of filemanager or when you run "ls /media/hda2".

If so, then the disk is mounted. If so, then you most likely have a problem with permissions. You will need to give the group under which the slimserver sits access to the disk.

That you cannot change the fstab is also a permissions "problem". A normal user cannot change this, you need to be root, or else use su or sudo, whatever your distro likes.

Once you can access the fstab, add "user" to the list of options.

i tried with the command and it lists down my files so i guess its permission problem.

How exactly can i give the group under which slimserver sits access ?? i don't even know which group slimserver is ...

also how can i log on as root ?

I think you better find this out on a forum about your distro. I'm not an expert either. What is your distro anyway?
