![]() The simple answer to both is that it was available and I didn’t have the luxury of time.Īround this time, I have a vision of God (can’t remember which one now, tch) and take the month off to become a circus trapeze artist. I discover, when a replacement HDMI cable arrives, that, in my haste, I chose 1) on its own, because I am a medical experiment.ĭespite all of these free replacements, I begin to question why I bothered with the Pi, or why I didn’t think to put it down as a business expense. 2) is recommended, as is 3) adding a ‘nofail’ flag to the mount command for each drive. Permanently mounting drives in /etc/fstab (this will come up in your research, I guarantee it) can be done via two ways: 1) device IDs that change every boot, and 2) device ids that remain the same. You're allowed to start laughing at this juncture. I don’t have a HDMI cable because my Pi decided to eat it the previous day, and so I decide to spend the weekend not thinking about any of this. ![]() I remind myself that I am set to become TechRadar Pro’s latest hardware writer, on a path to destruction. I very much feel like my full job title as a Junior Writer, listless. I consider throwing it out of the window, before the mist recedes and I request another replacement on what happens to be a Friday. In arrogance at my newfound mastery of the universe, I make the mistake of permanently mounting more drives using the command line (a learning curve in itself) while half asleep, reboot, and break the whole thing again. I get up, ready to reap the fruits of my labor, and it’s… still working actually. Essentially, Pis have two led lights in them, one, red, showing power (lit up here) and another, green, showing activity ((not lit up here). This is a terrible photo, but I am having a terrible time. The first Pi I receive from a local reseller (that, it must be said, has flawless customer service), refuses to boot any SD whatsoever, the one included in the starter kit package I bought snaps in half as I remove it from the included case, and, yes, one is singed to death. A mini-HDMI cable has been cruelly taken from me, snapping off in the port and needing critical tweezer extraction, but that's for later. ![]() I have seen (my own personal, who I loved like a son) 64GB Sandisk SD card burnt to death in the war. I myself have champagne taste on a beercan budget, and am on my second Pi 4 Model B, with 8GB of RAM. And if you decide on that instead, there there, it’s okay. They’re not as cheap as £35, but they’re there. If you’re a business urchin and want an easy way to squirrel away your tax documents, we have a buying guide for near-enough plug and play solutions that run Windows. The goal here, then, is not a guide to how to set up a RPi as a NAS, as originally intended, but to document what I have learned for posterity, and to demonstrate to my employer that I am still alive.
