File Server Not recognized

[kyfalcon]

I have an old LACIE 1 terabyte fileserver that had an old version of windows on it without a license. I installed ubuntu 8.04 on it and setup directories for sharing. I then connected it to the network and copied files from my hybrid to the shares. I then deleted the files from my hybrid. I have 2 problems.

No 1. I thought LMCE would automagically recognize the new drives and ask me if I would like to connect. Which is not happening.
No 2. After I have resynced my media in the web admin I still have pointers to the old media and when I try to play the media I get file not found, which is understandable. Why haven't these pointers been cleared?

Thanks for any help or ideas!

In general its best to move media from within webadmin for then it updates the db as well as updating the file system.

But webadmin doesn't recognize that my fileserver exists. So how do I get the core to recognize my fileserver and then how do I get my media resynced correctly.

So you've mounted the share(s) manually and now you're wondering why lmce won't detect them, right?

make sure fileserver is on internal lmce network and use it uses samba shares.. so it automatically detects and adds the server.

I did not go out and mount the fileserver drives on the core kde desktop. I thought LMCE took care of that automatically.

It is connected to the network, it received ip 192.168.80.252. The drives are shared through samba. I am able to see the core from the fileserver and I was under the assumption that the core would aoutmatically recognize a new drive and ask me if I would like to connect. Is there a setting I may have turned off concerning auto detection?

So you copied the files over without mounting the share(s) then?

I had the files backed up on a usb drive. I copied them from the USB to the file server. Sorry for the confusion. I have not mounted the fileserver. I thought LMCE was supposed to recognize the drive and take care of mounting it. If I have to mount the drive myself I can do that but I would rather LMCE take care of it.

It should find and mount automatically. Can you access the fileserver from other machines on the network?
