[SOLVED] Mounting another partition with music library inside, in the same HD

[hkphantomgtr]

Dear Snakeoil,

I don't know why I only can store about 3G of files thru Win Explorer, then it's full.  (as told in https://www.snakeoil-os.net/Manual/clients/ )
Would you please help me to solve it?  Thanks a lot! 

Best,
Billy

Dear Snakeoil,

During installation, I've tried: 1) leave that partition unmounted to any point, 2) mounted this partition to a "folder".

You have to copy the files under SSD. Having said that, because of the way Windows work, you might not get away with the ~3G limit. Probably the best thing to do is to modify your mount path to mount /dev/sda3 straight to /media/music instead. That way you get to use the full 913G space.

Thank you very much, it works, you're genius!! 
As it's pretty slow to copy thru windows, finally I've just mounted NAS and copied the files from NAS into the SSD directly.  But then I can't delete files thru windows explorer.   Would there be a better command than "chmod -R 777 /media/music"?  Thank you very much again.

Yes, I should be able to modify the samba configuration file so that you'd always have the ability to delete or modify files.

Failing that, I'd create a button called "Fix Permissions" that you can click to set everything up properly.

It's slated for the next release of Snakeoil - Which unfortunately is delayed. Until then, your command above will work, you can also run chown to change the ownership of the files.

Nice, Thank you very much, sir!
