Hello everyone
I have a Raspberry pi with Venus OS large and would like to write data to a USB stick plugged into the Pi using Node Red. Unfortunately I couldn't find out what the path of the USB stick is, and all Linux commands don't work to find it out. can someone help me?
@saintgtr34 If you have shell access via ssh you should find the Linux commands do work.
It will be mounted under /run/media/.... as an example /run/media/sda1
It was exactly /run/media/sda1
Many thanks, that took my quiet a bit time.
With the new update I got a new problem. I swapped the Pi for an Octo GX with FW 2.90 and access to the USB stick is newly denied. Then I found this on the official site:
Since Venus OS 2.90 and on wards, Node-RED no longer runs as user root, but as user nodered. This means that the Node-RED flows are only allowed to access files and directories that are owned by the nodered user. These files typically start below /data/home/nodered/. So modifying the storage location to something like /data/home/nodered/storage.txt ought to work.
Is there still the possibility to write data to the USB stick? And then how?
I too would like to know the valid path to write to a USB memory stick. If you putty into the RPI you can navigate to the dir //run/media/sda1 from there you can create a file. Why / how do you write to it using the nodered file write node? Can you create a shortcut to the file in the /data/home/nodered/ where you do have permissions? Do I have to create a copy command and copy the file from /data/home/nodered/ ---> /run/media/sda1/ ?????
