Ok, found the correct way to cp my original config files into the container, so now have my normal (so far) CW config...except, can't get the ebook storage location to take.

I have mounted the external USB SSD drive, in the normal /mnt location, and verified the ebooks are in /mnt/eStorage/eBooks/All-eBooks folder.

But when I select that location, I get "db location is invalid. Enter correct path".

But when I go to the folder for the "All-eBooks", it shows empty. I shut the RPi down, removed the SSD drive, attached it to my Linux PC and when I mounted it, all the ebooks were there.

Put it back on the RPi, and the folder is blank inside and outside of the container. There some other folders/files in 'eStorage' as well, but they do not show up either in the Ubuntu /mnt/eStorage folder...only the eBooks folder for some reason.

In normal Ubuntu system, /etc/fstab shows:
Quote:
LABEL=writable / ext4 discard,errors=remount-ro 0 1
LABEL=system-boot /boot/firmware vfat defaults 0 1
I did mount the external SSD and it shows up in /mnt, but shouldn't it show up in fstab? Do I need to mount it in fstab manually?

Edit: Ok, answered my own question. Yes I had to manually make an entry to the /mnt configuration would be 'permanent' and mount on boot.
