Are you confirming that there is a problem or not?I discovered that the SWAP area is not setup (mkswap), when the swap partition is setup (image one, in gargoyle called "format"). The SWAP area is first setup (mkswap) when you save the "shared disk" (look at image two).

There is no problem on my maschine. Except that you need to save the shared disk before mkdisk is "run". But that is more a need of documentation or that it should simply be changed to that mkswap will be run in the same process when the partitions are setup (called format here).ispyisail wrote:Are you confirming that there is a problem or not?I discovered that the SWAP area is not setup (mkswap), when the swap partition is setup (image one, in gargoyle called "format").

The partitioning process has not worked at all for you, as you can see, is the partition still fat32 and not ext4 that gargoyle creates.ispyisail wrote:...

And it looks like you have several partitions on your HDD (see sda5).hnl_dk wrote:The partitioning process has not worked at all for you, as you can see, is the partition still fat32 and not ext4 that gargoyle creates.ispyisail wrote:...

If I where you, could I enter the routers through ssh and remove all partitions on the HDD (using fdisk) and then create a single partition, before you try again.

You have maybe not removed the share before making the changes on the HDD?

This makes sense

Yes, I see the problem.ispyisail wrote:This makes sense

Did you remove the shared disk before you did repartitioning the HDD?
If you already have a shared disk setup, do I not think that it is enough "just" to unmount what is on the disk. You will properly need to remove the share first.

I suspect that manual deleting the drive format I could fix the problem but I suspect others will have this problem in the future?
