Ubuntu NAS [Webmin noob] Help.

[nogo]

Ok,


I finally got Ubuntu Server 64 installed on my NAS box.

I have made it to step 5 : http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30573/77/1/2/

This is the first time I have "played" with linux since Red Hat, ages ago, so I am stuck.


I cannot create a folder/directory. I know this is a permissions issue but I don't know how to change them. My code-foo is very weak. I'm more of a hardware guy.

An "idiot's guide" would be great. Just help me get permissions sorted... I'm sure I can get the rest done :o

Thanks.

The procedure using Webmin File Manager isn't working?

I am able to create the file systems on two 1tb drives [Step 4]

The trouble is with [Step 5].

When I click on the "New Folder" icon, I get the name prompt but I cannot enter anything.

Zip, zilch, nada... The name field will not change at all. This is why I assumed it was a permission issue.

I am attaching your image to show you exactly where my problem lies.

Go back and make sure that the RAID volume is formatted. Also reboot the system and try.

cd to /mnt and try the sudo mkdir command. Do one folder level at a time, i.e.
sudo mkdir folder1, then cd to folder1 and sudo mkdir subfolder1.
