[SOLVED]Conky not showing my HDD's. Changes won't apply.

Post by thatchunkylad198966 »

Config:

Code: Select all

#FileSystem
#------------+
${color2}USB; Samsung fit plus 128GB USB 3.1 ${hr 2}
${color0}${voffset 5}/dev/sdb2:${alignr}${fs_used /} / ${fs_size /}
${fs_bar  /}
Read: ${alignr}${diskio_read /dev/sdb2}
Write: ${alignr}${diskio_write /dev/sdb2}
${color2}HDD; 2TB 7200RPM HDD ${hr 2}
${color0}${voffset 5}/dev/sda:${alignr}${fs_used /} / ${fs_size /}
${fs_bar  /}
Read: ${alignr}${diskio_read /dev/sda}
Write: ${alignr}${diskio_write /dev/sda}
${color2}MicroSD; 128GB Class 10 MicroSD ${hr 2}
${color0}${voffset 5}/dev/mmcblk0p1:${alignr}${fs_used /} / ${fs_size /}
${fs_bar  /}
Read: ${alignr}${diskio_read /dev/mmcblk0p1}
Write: ${alignr}${diskio_write /dev/mmcblk0p1}
It only shows /dev/sdb2 and that has 6GB used.

What am I doing wrong?

All of your references are pointing at your / partition:

Code: Select all

${fs_used /}
If you want to show space used on another partition you need to specify its mount point, e.g. to show used space on my home partition:

Code: Select all

${fs_used /home/andy}
