Read & write data to it using ordinary system tools (see Setup.)ĭrobo-utils accesses drobos via the same files. If you can get your drobo device to be associated with a /dev/sdX įile, then you will be able to partition, build file systems and So that is where drobo-utils, the linux dashboard, comes in.

Manually setting things up from the command line without any special software.įor those with other tastes, there is also a GUI that can take care of it:

With other storage units, have to install matching disks.
