i have my sda8 (ntfs volume) mounted as automount on boot. how to index files inside them via Drill. I dual boot windows 10 and clear linux.

Drill automatically starts threads for all available mountpoints found:

using df -h --output=target to get the mounts

let me know the output

[nazar2sfive]

android@clr:~
$ df -h --output=target
Mounted on
/
/dev
/dev/shm
/run
/sys/fs/cgroup
/tmp

ok so the mountpoint is found

problem is this probably:

edit the blacklist and remove

ClearLinux mounts in /mnt

when I have never seen a distro do it that's why I thought /mnt was a good thing to add as a blacklisted folder

[yatima1460]

also isn't /mnt deprecated nowadays in favor of /media?

/mnt should be used only for temporarily mounted filesystems /media for mounting files systems

photo taken from some other website. not mine

i use gnome-disk-utility for the mount purpose . easy and simple. and it does that at /mnt by default

[nazar2sfive]

any future gui plan to keep a settings menu for configuring where to index for?

search everything with these option.

[yatima1460]

oh yes absolutely, in the long run I want to do something like Everything on Windows

I want a GUI that let's you edit the allowed and disallowed folders.
