Assuming you created one large primary, it'll be at /dev/hdc1. So you just need an entry like this: /dev/hdc1 /mnt/newdisk ext3 defaults 0 0 See man fstab for the meanings of those fields, and man mount for alternatives to the 'defaults' option if you need them. > 3..

Thanks in advance. No problem, but _please_ wrap your lines at 72ish, and do NOT post in HTML. And thanks for the tip about df; I didn't know it could display filesystem type.
