hello so I used this guide
http://www.debiantutorials.com/how-to-a ... ilesystem/
to setup my WD purple 1tb drive as ext4 mounted to /dvr

now I am using this guide
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Using_a_ded ... Hard_Drive
to actually use it as my footage drive

in this part

Code: Select all

/dev/sdX1 /newdrive ext3 defaults 0 2
/newdrive/zoneminder/images /var/cache/zoneminder/images none defaults,bind  0 2
/newdrive/zoneminder/events /var/cache/zoneminder/events none defaults,bind 0 2

should I change ext3 to ext4 because my drive is formatted with ext4 ?

That is the hard way. See the ZM WIKI for usimg systemd to mount a drive. Works with Ubuntu 16x and Debian 9

ok so I changed ext3 to ext4 and it seems to be working (running "mount -a" didn't give me any errors)
