Hello
When I setup my NCP I didnât specify a label for the datadir. So if I get it right the datadir should have been something like â/media/USBdrive/ncdata/LABELâ.
This is what it looks now.
So every time I plug in ad USB thumbdrive my NCP instance crashes immediately.
Can and if yes how can I add a label to my USB-Drive with the data on it in order to use other USB drives?
I want to add a second one to backup data and a third small one to backup NCP-settings.
Thanks in advance.
When I connect over SSH and type lsblk I find a partition called /media/myCloudDrive but as metioned above datadir is at /media/USBdrive/ncdata.
You can manually edit NCâs config with
sudo nano /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php
and edit datadirectory to look like:
âdatadirectoryâ => â/media/myCloudDrive/ncdataâ
Thanks Oliver. But this wouldnât move data right?
No it wouldnât move data, the data is already there,
No, it would be
datadir /media/LABEL/ncdata
Just be careful doing this, after I did the same I lost access to the AppStore because Nextcloud still expects the âtmpâ folder to be at /media/USBdrive/ncdata.
So to wrap up:
I change the respective line from datadirectory' => '/media/USBdrive/ncdata to datadirectory' => /media/myCloudDrive/ncdata
And NC will still know where data is because I changed the location? I donât understand this to be honest.
@Robert_Spierenburg And what was your solution?
Actually I donât understand why that labelling issue happened in the first place.
@OliverV So my backup device should be called /media/Backup/ncdata and an additional USB-Stick I want to use to store NCP-settings and NC settings for example media/Stick/ncdata?
Unfortunately I havenât found a solution yet. Keep in mind it might not be at all related to your issue. I just wanted you be aware of a potential issue.
