Using pex version 0.7 running on Linux
When exporting the only drive found is ‘/’
However on the system in question, mounted, are: 2 hard disks (4 writable partitions) and a USB drive.
Further, there was no option to select a sub-directory of ‘/’
Thanks for Kolibri.
Hi, thanks for the question.
Would you mind running mount and cat /proc/mounts from your terminal and sharing the results?
When exporting the only drive found is ‘/’
However on the system in question, mounted, are: 2 hard disks (4 writable partitions) and a USB drive.
In order to enumerate drives, we check those values and then additionally check for write access.
Further, there was no option to select a sub-directory of ‘/’
Currently, we always export to a folder called “KOLIBRI_DATA” which is placed at the root of a drive so that Kolibri knows where to look on import.

Thanks for the info - I’ve created a new issue here.
There’s a chance that the drives are being filtered out because they’re mounted under dev or run - we currently have a blacklist:
PATH_PREFIX_BLACKLIST = ["/proc", "/sys", "/tmp", "/var", "/run", "/boot", "/dev"]
As a work-around, perhaps you could try mounting to a location not in the blacklist?
