6. Setup the default storage location on connected HDD 

 

Warning

TonidoPlug requires an external HDD attached either via a USB port or in the SATA bay. In addition to an attached drive, you also need to make sure the "User Data Directory" Setting is pointing to the attached drive path. If you pull out a drive and re-connect a different drive, make sure to change the drive path in the User Data Directory to this new path. Otherwise, applications will not work properly and will get "suspended".

 

Tonido software requires external storage to store application data from apps like Sync etc. Without a connected HDD, Tonido software will not function properly.

Tonido has a setting called "User Data Directory" under Settings->Account and it has to be setup to point to a connected external storage location. This location will store all Tonido application data that is not stored on the TonidoPlug internal storage.  If for any reason, you disconnect a HDD connected to the plug or if the disk is not connected properly, this location is unavailable and all applications will be SUSPENDED.  

So, ensure that a HDD is connected and is available for browsing under the "USB Drives" section.

Next, go to Settings->User Account and make sure that the location set under User Data Directory is OK. The default location is /media/disk1part1. If your HDD is mounted in a different location, make sure to change the path to the new location. You can re-enable the applications after setting this correctly. 


Now TonidoPlug is configured and ready for use.
