    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 !

        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 ..

              16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
              by SEQadmin2




              NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

              Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
