 Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 5:18 am Post subject: Partition schema for 2 or more disk |
 |
|
Hi:
I plan install Gentoo 2004 in my box. Actually i have a 40 GB hard disk installed and a 120 GB hard disk not installed. I will install the 120 GB disk like primary disk and 40 GB like second disk. 
1. How is the partition schema to use the both disk? (the second disk will be used for storage music and other data).
2. How i can access the second disk when finally will be installed? (/dev/hdb? /dev/hdc? /dev/hde?  )
In need add this to fstab.conf to mount automatically?

Well, you the sheme can be pretty much what you want ... for example the first disk could be the doc's simplistic :
/
/boot
swap
(although I prefer to have also /home and /var but that's not strictly necessary)
and your second drive could be one big partition if that suits you, which you could mount on /mnt/data for example

it should be hdb

simply add a line like this to your /etc/fstab :
| Code: | /dev/hdb1 /mnt/data ext3 noatime 0 0
|
of course you must first create /mnt/data by hand first, and ext3 is an example, use whatever fs you like |
