HI ALL,
I just added some new hardware to my Gentoo box. I upgraded
the video, add a CD-R and a second hard drive. My question is I
reinstalled Gentoo on the the first hard drive, what do I need to do
so that both drives can be used. I cfdisk the first and second drive.
The drivers are called /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd. Here's what I did
/dev/hdc1 - boot
/dev/hdc2 - swap
/dev/hdc3 - root
/dev/hdd1- just formatted
I need some help in mounting /dev/hdd1 so its seen so I can store
data on it. Any info on how to do this would be helpful. |

I'm still new to linux. I don't really understand on how to properly
use mount. You say I can use " /dev/hdd1 /mnt/mountpoint "
Can you expand on "/mnt/mountpoint " ? I've always had linux
systems with 1 HD. So, I'm still new to properly configuring a Gentoo
box with more than 1 HD. Can you post more info on the proper way to
mount a second HD. |

Ok then, say we want to mount the new filesystem to the directory /mnt/newdrive here is what we would do:
| Code: |
mkdir /mnt/newdrive
mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/newdrive
|
That should mount your new hard drive, and if you wanted to have it automatically every time you boot, then you need to add a line to fstab that looks similar to this:
| Code: |
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/newdrive filesystype noauto 0 0
|
right after your other hard drives.. insert the file system type that you formatted it with where it says "filesystype"
That should work
