How do I change name od mounted HDD?

shiro · July 24, 2017 at 6:51 PM

Hello,

My libreelec installation sees the HDD with all movies, music, etc as something like: sdb1-ata-WDC_WD1001FALS-0

Is it possible to change it into something shorted, more suitable, for ex. "HDD" or such?

Or, even better, is there a way to somehow mount the directories on that HDD to those kodi specific sources like Movies, Music, Pictures, to avoid setting up Sources in Kodi? Something like hardlinks.

Thanks

It seems to me that the volume doesn't have a volume label. LE normally mounts a drive as /var/media/<Label>

If that is not the case post output of dmesg.

I'm not aware of any hard linking, so best to actually add them just once

Code

e2label /dev/sdb1 new-label-name-here

^ this assumes the USB drive is ext2/3/4 formatted and you want to label the first partition on the /dev/sdb device; hence /dev/sdb1

Okay, so you can rename your hdd now via the commandline in SSH :

e2label /dev/sdb1 multimedia_hdd (or some other fancy label/name).
