you can skip the first question I have to format them and mount them,
how do I get them visible on my network afterwards?

can you still help me out with my other questions thanks for your help

Can you post the exact error messages, e.g. from your logs?

 

since I'm a starter I don't know what commands to use can you help me out here
thanks Paul

 

Take a look at the log files in the /var/log directory. For example, to take a look at the last 100 lines from /var/log/syslog, you'd run

Code:

tail -n100 /var/log/syslog

 

this are the 100 lines from the syslog

Does this user exist in /etc/passwd?
