Bubba 2 can not find disk

Bubba 2 had been working well for past few months, until this morning.

1. I can log-in as Admin and it tells me that the 500 Gb drive is there (and how much space left), BUT when you go to the Disk tab --- the SATA disk is NOT shown.
2. SO, off to try the Rescue instructions.
3. I edited the Bubba.cfg on my USB stick (change to 0 to prevent Install)

• I have a DHCP server (Linksys Router) on my network -- so Bubba Two can use this to obtain an IP address automatically.
• Moved Ethernet connection from Bubba Two's LAN port to the WAN port.
to your DHCP server.
• Checked the Client list of the DHCP server to determine IP address assigned (192.168.1.105)
• Used PuTTY established a SSH connection to this IP address (192.168.1.105).
• Using the user name "greg" and password "***",
I was able to establish a SSH connection to Bubba Two (BUBBA).
The username: 'root' and password: 'excito' did NOT work.
• Here is the actual interactive session (in quotes).
login as: greg
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.

SO, there are NO directories / files in the mnt directory.

Thoughts? /// for next steps???

Only external attatched disks on that tab :)

From the manual:
EXTERNAL STORAGE

Information about connected external drives is visible in the Disk section when logged in as Administrator. Read about it in chapter Administrator section Disk.
What is it you want to do?

Thank you for prompt reply. If forgot that Disk only shows the external on Bubba (I have been working on uNSLUng, NAS200, home Linux server this weekend -- I have to remember the version I am working on == :lol:

The Firefly server is working -- BUT the music I had stored on Bubba2 Music folder disappeared. :(
I am going to restore it from a backup ... after rebooting over past few hours ... Bubba seems to be working fine again for everything else :)

I am using a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive (and not the WD Green Power Disk) in my BUBBA2.
