Adding a second hard drive to your HDA (view source)

, 22:08, 13 October 2012→Use the hard drive for only some shares
That last command should show you the content of you new hard drive.
Now, you need to update the location of the moved shares within Amahi. Go to your Amahi Dashboard, click on 'Setup', then 'Shares'.
Click on one of the shares that you have moved. This will open a panel revealing the share settings. Click on the location (the bit that is shown with a dotted underline) and it will change to an edit box. Update the location to match the new share location.
For example, the original movies location was: <span style="color:red">/var/hda/files/movies</span><br/>
The new location might be: <span style="color:blue">/var/hda/files/drives/sdb1/movies</span>
Repeat for any other shares that you have moved. Check that you can access these shares from another machine within your network.
Finally, if you have any services that depend on the location of these shares, make sure they are configured to use the new share location. For example, if you have a DLNA server installed, check its configuration files to make sure that it can find any media folders that have been moved. Secondly, <em>check that all such services start correctly and behave as expected</em>. If the service doesn't start, it may be that it is testing for a specific location during the service startup. Check the startup files in <strong>/etc/init.d</strong> to see if this is the case.
That's it. Your share(s) are now on your new hard drive.
