n.b. Unetbootin was a bit finnicky for me, I found that if I created the drive with a FreeDOS live CD that it wouldn't work, but if I then re-created using unetbootin's automatic distribution download feature, the USB stick worked a treat. YMMV.
== 4TB Hard Drives ==
If you have a new hard drive you can add it now. Here are some instructions to use for 4TB HDD using partedto make sure the alignment is right. Example here is with a new HDD that appears as /dev/sdb (read here: http://rainbow.chard.org/2013/01/30/how-to-align-partitions-for-best-performance-using-parted/)
{{Code|
Code = parted /dev/sdb
}}
at the parted prompt
{{Code|
Code = mklabel gpt
mkpart primary ext4 4096s 100%
align-check opt 1
quit
}}
Formating the drive:
{{Code|
Code = mkfs.ext4 -L greyhole01 /dev/sdb1
}}
Mounting the drive:
{{Code|
Code = hda-diskmount
}}
Using the output from the above command, first backup /etc/fstab, and then add to /etc/fstab.
An example (and only an example!) of what needs to be added to /etc/fstab all on one line:
'''UUID=e68bc54a-b795-4ce0-802f-213f4ab71e60 /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 ext4 defaults 1 2'''
