Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi there folks, I just recently purchased a raspberry pi b+ to run a owncloud server. I am running the latest version of Raspbian wheezy. I was able to install owncloud using a script from petrockblogs github page called owncloudpie. I am albe to navigate to the owncloud url and see the owncloud log in page. On this log in page it ask you to set up your database storage. I am trying to use an external HDD usb storage drive. will lsblk or df -h show me the correct name I need to be using for the hard drive? It shows me /media/Seagate External Drive but not sure if that is the full name or not. I need to know the correct name for the external drive so I can give it the correct permissions and and so I can also enter into the storage field on the owncloud setup. Also will owncloud and/or raspbian support NTFS file system or do I need to format to ext4 or fat32? Any help is much appreciated, thanks so much for reading my post. (to mods, if there is a better category this post would belong in please don't mind moving it)

Both df and lsblk show the device id and the mount point.

You can use ntfs with the ntfs-3g driver on Raspbian, but it is a quite a bit slower than ext4.
If you only use it with your Pi I would format it to ext4.

Dirk.
