Re: Adding a harddrive

[Ed Wilts]

There are 5 basic steps to getting a new hard drive working:   1.  partition the drive with: fdisk /dev/hdc 2.  create a file system on the new partition with: mke2fs 3.  create a mount point:  mkdir /mnt/hdc1 4.  mount the drive:  mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1 5.  edit fstab and put the entry there.  cat /etc/mtab will show you what it's like now that you've got it mounted.   Here are a few articles on the process: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1263 http://www.dummies.com/Technology/Software/Linux/0-7645-0795-8_0007.html http://linuxrefresher.com/fileadm.htm   This should get you started.   Holler if you need more info.   Ed Wilts Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
