Raspberry Pi 2

[meddyuk]

Hi there.

I know that this isn't a truly Mint question, but its linux, so i thought that you may be able to help.

I've just purchased a Raspberry Pi 2 and i've installed OpenElec onto it so that i can run Kodi.

I've succesfully set it all up and i've managed to get the USB ports working with a wireless wifi dongle and also a wireless keyboard.

I've also set kodi to see my movies folder on another NAS.

The problem i have is that kodi cannot see my external HDD which is plugged into a spare USB port. The HDD is a WD elements which has its own power supply. Its got an NTFS file system and this works on my linux machine, my Windows machine and my LGTV.

I've puttied into the openelec and typed mount but nothing is showing on /dev/sdb1

Is there anything else i should do.

If udisks is included with OpenELEC, you can probably mount it using:

Code: Select all

udisks --mount /dev/sdb1

OpenElec homepage is at

I would join the forum (under support) as well as surfing thru their wiki (also under support).

i've typed lsusb and got

device 1 = linux root hub
dev 2 = Standard microsoft hub
dev 3 = microsoft fast ethernet adaptor (for my keyboard)
dev 4 = Belkin Components (wireless usb)
dev 5 = Microsoft
dev 6 = ASmedia Sata3gb/s bridge

i think that dev 6 might be my WD HDD what do you think and if so how do i mount that

Have you tried the command I gave? (If the disk has another device name than /dev/sdb1 you can change that im the command of course)
If it does not work please ask at OpenELEC what the preferred way of mounting a device is.
