Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Type 'p' to see all the partitions that already exist: Disk /dev/sdb: 1040 MB, 1040449536 bytesДЈ3 heads, 61 sectors/track, 1009 cylinders, total 2032128 sectors You will be prompted with: codeCommand (m for help):code The next step is to create a partition on the stick. Remember that in Linux, file names are case sensitive.Д«efore we can reformat the stick, we must first 'unmount' it so that the operating system no longer sees it as a usable drive: umount /media/ 1GBStick Identify which one is the one you want to format and take a note of its name, e.g. If there is more than one, then you may have more than one memory stick on your Raspberry Pi. If it has, you will see it in the /mediaВ directory. You may find that it has already been mounted as a usable drive.

In this tutorial we will use the example /dev/sdb cat /var/log/messages | tail -n 50 Your device will be named something like sda, sdd, etc. View the last few lines to identify your device. This will generate some messages about the device in the system messages file. This removes ALL information from your memory stick/hard drive, so make sure you want to do that before you continue.ДЇirst, you need to identify which device is your USB stick - the easiest way is to remove it (if it is plugged in) and then reconnect it.

Password is вЂvolumioвЂ™.You can partition and format a USB memory stick or hard drive fromВ a terminal window on the Raspberry Pi. Ssh whatever hostname you used when you set up the device).

In a terminal connect to the Pi using ssh:.

If the drive does not show up perhaps it is because it is formatted using exfat which is not supported under Volumio.

The list of sources should appear вЂ“ select вЂUSBвЂ™ and the drive should appear along with any other USB music sources that are connected.

Select вЂMainвЂ™ from the menu and click вЂBrowseвЂќ in the navigation bar at the bottom of the page.

Go to (or whatever you configured as the host name for the Pi).

Connect the drive to a powered hub that is connected to the Pi (preferably with the Pi powered off).

If you want to attach the external USB drive containing the music library directly to the Raspberry Pi being used as a music player do the following the steps: In this case the entry вЂњBus 001 Device 008вЂќ is the USB hard drive.

My Passport 1TB USB 3.0Д«us 001 Device 007: ID 0e8d:1887 MediaTek Inc. You should see a list of devices, something like: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1058:0748 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Display the list of USB devices by typing:.Ssh if you changed the host name will type: Using an SSH client or in the terminal shell of your computer, type:.Enable SSH in Volumio: In your web browser go to (or whatever you configured as the host name for the Pi) and click вЂњENABLEвЂќ in the SSH section вЂ“ donвЂ™t worry the UI gives you NO visual indicator that you clicked it.You can check if the drive is being detected by connecting to the Pi via SSH: This could potentially lead to it not being detected as a USB device. One possible scenario is if the drive can put itself to sleep and is somehow asleep when the Pi boots up and is not ready when the Pi scans the USB bus. Sometimes the USB hard drive is not detected. You you should see a notification displayed on the screen indicating that it is scanning the drive and numbers should start to appear under the columns вЂњArtistsвЂќ, вЂњAlbumsвЂќ, вЂњTracksвЂќ as Volumio finds your music files. Go to вЂњSettingsвЂќ (the gear wheel in the top right corner of the screen) and select вЂњMy MusicвЂќ, then click вЂњUpdateвЂќ in the section marked вЂњMy MusicвЂќ.Go to (or whatever you configured as the host name for the Pi) in your web browser.NOTE that external USB hard drives often draw more power than the Pi can supply through the USB port and soВ you may need to connect the drive to the Pi via a powered USB hub (even if the drive appears to work without a powered hub the Pi can experience voltage sags causing it to randomly crash). Connect the drive to the Pi (preferably with the Pi powered off).Under Volumio 2 you can attach a USB flash drive or USB external hard drive and it should be detected automatically.
