All versions of fog currently put only one storage node’s config into /etc/exports, normally, this is just /images

so the first thing is to check the exports file: /etc/exports. If an entry for your eternal drive isn’t there, just copy/paste the two existing lines and change the paths to point to the external drive.

Note that inside the external drive’s “images” directory, you need a “dev” directory.

/images/dev

also, in both /images and in /images/dev, you need a hidden file, named .mntcheck

you can create this file using the touch command, like this: touch .mntcheck

@JBailey When we talk about revision numbers, we are referring to the number in the cloud, in the top left of any fog page. Tom has coded the current Trunk versions to display the number in the cloud correctly.

It’s confusing when you don’t specify “git” or “svn” or “the number in the cloud”.

Glad it’s cleared up though. It’s important to indicate things like this in the threads because they serve as help for who knows how many other fog users - people of varying skill level - fog knowledge - English reading ability and comprehension - etc.

Correctness and clarity are important. Remember, when we are helping you in the forums, we’re actually helping you and others too. 🙂
