Edit your /etc/fstab with your favorite editor (note: You *will* have to be "root" in order to do this, so I recommend opening a console window, SU-ing to root and use a console-based text editor.) Once you have your /etc/fstab file in the editor, specify the mount point and the correct /dev file the way the other mount points are specified. John
Re: [expert] Linux file system update?
You specify a mount point from within linux. You can mount a filesystem as follows: mount /dev/hd?x /mountpoint where /dev/hd?x is the drive and the partition you want to mount (for example /dev/hda1 is the first partition on the primary master drive, /dev/hdb1 the 1st part in the primary slave drive) You can mount your partition wherever you want. A mount point is a "folder" in the linux filesystem. You can also use linuxconf to mount partitions. vern, escribió: After adding a new hard drive to my system and creating an ext2fs type partition, how do I add this to my file system table??

Choose where you want to add the partition (this Directory should be *empty*) and add a line in /etc/fstab reflecting your configuration. See the Hard-Disk-Upgrade HowTO¹ for details.
