Add second new hard drive

Filed under: Computer — blogadmin @ 11:00 pm


  • As root, go single user:
    telinit 1

  • Partition new disk with tool, such as fdisk.

  • Format new hard drive partition(s):

    mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdc1

    Provide device and filesystem as appropriate for your system or your
    choice.

  • Mount new hard drive:

    mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/newdisc

  • Edit /etc/fstab to include new mount point:

    /dev/hdc1 /mnt/newdisc ext2 defaults 1 2

  • Or you can go to http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/ to find more information.

  • Or these are two messages in Google Groups: MSG1 and MSG2
