how to use storage device manager

Postby houndhen on Sun Nov 04, 2012 11:11 am

I am running Mint 13 KDE 32 bit.

When I open 'storage device manager', I keep getting a message that /dev/sdb? has not been configured. Do I want to configure it now?
I don't know if I want to configure it or not. because I am not sure what will happen if I say yes.
I have searched for a howto use 'storage device manager' but haven't found one. I don't see a help menu when sdm opens. Can someone point me in the right direction to find out how to use sdm?
Thanks,
Harold

Not to be obtuse, but what will happen if I click apply? That is what I need to know. I don't want to mess up one of my partitions.

The basic question is: what You want to do with your partition?
Here is nice "how-to":

I apparently haven/t been clear in my question.

What can I do with Storage Device Manager? Or is there documentation somewhere about how to use SDM? Just curious. Not an earth shaking problem.
Thanks,

PySDM is a Storage Device Manager that allows full customization of hard disk mountpoints without manually access to fstab.
