Where I can find the config file for ntfs-3g fuse imported disks?

[Pedro22]

Hi all,

I used the GUI, Storage / Import Disk option
to mount an external USB NTFS drive.

Where can I find/modify this option?

TIA

What is it you're trying to do?

It's not a config file, rather its a middleware (API) call.

Hi Dru, thanks for your reply.

(with a bit more of time now to elaborate)

I simply need from time to time to copy some files to an external USB device.
I usually accomplish this on FreeBSD by mounting the disk directly from the command line or including the call in /etc/fstab

This time I used the import disk option as I mentioned earlier. The disk was available on the selected path and worked fine, but I was a bit surprised that it didn't show anywhere on the storage tab, especially since I wanted to move the mount point elsewhere.

Actually, I needed to remove the original mount point because I wanted to try something like
ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /path-to-samba-share-owned-by-user -o rw,uid=1010,gid=1010

Long story short, considering that we're dealing with an appliance here, I thought it would be safer and faster just to ask :)

Best regards

PS. Also noticed that the disk, although properly mounted, it's listed under 'disks' as unused.

Yeah, that's not really the use case for that as it's meant to be a one-time thing for copying existing data onto a pool: https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.2-U6/storage.html#importing-a-disk.

Heh, this will be one of those RTFM cases where I exceptionally paid my swearing jar fine in candy (10/31)
Thank you :)
