Mount HDD to Recording Drive

 

SAFE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

🔹 Step 1 — Confirm sdb1 has no important data

lsblk

Make sure /dev/sdb1 is not mounted anywhere important.

🔹 Step 2 — Format Disk (XFS recommended for AlmaLinux)

mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sdb1

(If you prefer EXT4)

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

🔹 Step 3 — Backup Existing Recordings Folder

Very important if live server:

mv /var/www/recordings /var/www/recordings_backup
mkdir /var/www/recordings

🔹 Step 4 — Mount Disk

mount /dev/sdb1 /var/www/recordings

Check:

df -h

You should now see 1.8TB mounted there.

🔹 Step 5 — Restore Old Data (If Needed)

If you had recordings already:

cp -a /var/www/recordings_backup/* /var/www/recordings/

🔹 Step 6 — Set Correct Permissions (Very Important for Asterisk)


chmod -R 755 /var/www/recordings

🔹 Step 7 — Make Mount Permanent (Very Important)

Get UUID:

blkid /dev/sdb1

Example output:

UUID="abc123-xyz456"

Edit fstab:

nano /etc/fstab

Add:

UUID=abc123-xyz456   /var/www/recordings   xfs   defaults   0 0

Save and test:

mount -a

If no error → safe.

🔥 Final Check

df -h

You should see:

/dev/sdb1    1.8T   ...   /var/www/recordings
