Hi Nephilim,

It is ok, as i reconfigured from scratch to resolve the issue.

But this error occured after i had update my nextcloudpi from 16.02 to 16.03

I am not familar with NCP but Pi’s in general. When I need to add or replace disk I do the following on my server (debian):

  1. adding the new HDD to Pi and creating new primary partition by using: fdisk /dev/sda
  2. once the partition has been created I format it as ext4: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
  3. now the disk needs to be mounted. I use the script beneath for it:
#!/bin/sh
# run it as root

UUID=`blkid | awk '/sda1/ {print $2}' | cut -d '"' -f2`
mkdir /media/usbhdd-a
echo "UUID="$UUID" /media/usbhdd-a ext4 defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a

# creation of data directory for Nextcloud
mkdir /media/usbhdd-a/nextcloud
mkdir /media/usbhdd-a/nextcloud/data
chown -R www-data:www-data /media/usbhdd-a/nextcloud

exit 0

The script is searching the unique ID of the partition you have previously created. Then it creates the location where the new storagy device is planned to be. Then it updates /etc/fstab and mount it afterwards.

In a second step I let it create my data location that I want to use for my cloud. Leave it away if you don’t need it or adapt it according to your needs.

My data directory for my Nextcloud is located here: /media/usbhdd-a. How you work with this is of course up to you. Don’t forget to assign the data directory in /path/to/nextcloud/config/config.php.

Hope this helps?

If not, maybe this helps:
