setmountpoint is blank

In the manual i read that the setmountpoint should equal mountlocation. However, mine are different:

mountlocation = /dev/sda1
setmountpoint = blank

I’m suspicious that the datamine logs are not going to the USB i have installed because of this. Reason why is that the Disk Space Total is 516024 even though my USB is 1GB.

If my USB is not being used, how can I tell and how can I get the USB working?

Thanks

I need to update the docs. This part was written back before the UUID feature was introduced, so this statement is no longer true. The fact that you have a mountlocation, and presumably a UUID set would provide a good degree of confidence that the USB is mounted ok.

While this doesn’t completely add up, I think your USB is being used. The number reported is (or should be) the number of 1k blocks - so this amounts to 500MB, or 0.5GB. While this is only 1/2 the space that should be on your disk, which is strange, it’s also a LOT more memory than Vera has (which I think is 128MB).

So, I think your USB is mounted ok… If you want to be 100% sure, you can always remove it from Vera, plug it in to your PC, and you should see a bunch of files…
