New installation. error while scanning disk

1

new Rockstor installation. When I start scanning disks, it complains about /dev/sdc. it has an ext4 file system installed, which has files that, after installation, will need to be transferred to samba on the rockstore. how to exclude it from scanning.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/rest_framework_custom/generic_view.py”, line 41, in _handle_exception

@grif hello again. Can you also post which version of Rockstor you are installing? Not sure that the WebUI/Rockstor has accounted for such a scenario. My recommendation for a workaround would be to disconnect the ext4 disk, scan the other disks, build your pool/share/samba exports, then reconnect and mount the disk and then perform the file transfer to the share that you want to expose using samba using the command line.
