Hello. I have just installed vortex box to use a USB drive for storage.
I am not the best with linux etc but I can follow instructions they are however rather confusing on the wiki
It says:
4. Find the device name of the USB drive. Enter
cat /etc/vortexbox/CurrentUsbDrive.txt I did this and its /dev/sdb
5. Mount the drive. Enter
umount /storage
mount /dev/sdb1 /storage
Use the device name from step 4 with a “1” appended in the above command if it's not /dev/sdb.
I did this and got the following output:
I tried with a '1' and without.
In the instructions it does say next: 6. If this works, then automount the drive at boot time. Edit /etc/fstab. Enter
However it didnt work, and the instructions dont offer any instruction on what to do if it does not work.
The harddrive is formatted as NTFS.
Could someone give me a hint?
Cheers

I did this and got the following output:
Code:
mount: /dev/sdb is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
