At the top of the page it recommends ext3, but all the examples on the bottom half of the page seem to be using ext4. I checked, and my hda appears to be using ext4 over an LVM partition. Should I be using ext3 or ext4, or does it matter?

In any event, the inconsistency is slightly confusing.


Adding 2 disks

         /var/hda/files/drives/sdb1
         /var/hda/files/drives/sdc1

... I assumed the shares would go likewise, e.g.

         Photos -> /var/hda/files/drives/sdb1/Photos
         Movies -> /var/hda/files/drives/sdc1/Movies

... but to my surprise the files loaded into /dev/sda (system disk). Then I noticed that the Amahi Jome Server > Storage page showed the new disks as:

         /var/hda/files/drives/drive1
         /var/hda/files/drives/drive2

.... consequently for going to the new disks the shares had to be created respectively:

         Photos -> /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/Photos
         Movies -> /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/Movies
