  • Adding an external USB disk to S5

    Dear colleagues: did any of you have any luck in connecting a Linux-formatted external USB disk to Ion S5 and make it visible to the Torrent Server Virtual Machine (and hence to the Torrent Browser ?). Going on the traditional partition - format ext3 - mount system was not working for me and I heard it is not possible in a simple way. Thanks for any feedback ! Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro, have you checked with your local tech support for Ion?

    It takes a bit more work as the Torrent server is a virtual machine so by mounting it on your S5 doesn't automatically make it appear on the Torrent browser.

    I would say that a method exists but some degree of familiarity with Linux and virtual machines is required.

      Tank you Kevin - I actually fund the way. Important thing, it must be a NTFS formatted disk, otherwise the S5 will not read it, regardless of all your efforts !

      Regards,

      Alessandro

        ext3 is the recommended format in their documentation.

          Well, format the disk in ext3, follow the instructions to mount it in the tsvm and .. good luck ! It's absolutely impossible and even the support does not know it .. Then, before throwing the disk against the wall, format it in NTFS, repeat the procedure and let me know how it goes .. They reprogrammed for some obscure reason the USB interface layer. As a consequence, though, writing throught the USB takes forever ...

            That's odd.
            I can do it with ext4 ext3 ntfs.

            I agree about the write speeds though it's 2.5.mb / s on some of my attempts ... still trying to understand where is the bottleneck ..

              Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
              by seqadmin




              Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

              Recent Developments in Metagenomics
              by seqadmin





              Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
