The fstab file will get populated this way and will save you some issues later.Ĭreate a user account, set a username and password. Also scan for drives even if the drives are present. This way you are 100% sure drives can be accessed by the Raspberry Pi NAS.

I strongly suggest to quick-wipe the drives before you do anything else. Once ready plug everything in and log in to the web interface. I formatted the drives on my desktop PC to speed things up. Download the latest repository and install it on your board. The Raspberry Pi NAS is running an Open Media Vault software. You will need a tweezers unless you have loaded the software already on your Raspberry Pi. votes are thanked for! *cost of the drives is not included Ready? Let's start the awesome instructable!
