Installing and Upgrading Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server (VSMS)

Open a shell session and run the following commands to create a repository. The

Ext3 file system should be used to format the repository.

Procedure

Create new partitions:

Shell> parted -- /dev/sdb mkpart primary ext3 0 -0

Use mkfs to make the partitions:

Shell> mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1

Note: This command destroys all data that resides on that partition.

Create a new directory.

shell> mkdir /media1

Note: Each volume needs a unique directory for a mount point.

Add a new line to /etc/fstab, substituting the appropriate device name and mount

point:

dev/sdb1

/media1

Mount the newly created partitions. (Usage: mount /dev/sdb1 /media1.)

Change ownership of the mounted partitions to nobody.nobody:

shell> chown nobody: /media1

ext3
