Paritioning & Mount Points ?

[gnuageux]

I feel kinda dumb for asking this but here goes. I am getting ready to install gentoo on another box, with 2 ide hdd's. Ill use fdisk and mke2fs to partition and create the file systems. If I have my root file system on say hda3 what should I put on hdb? ....I want this to be an ext3 filesystem and preferfablly put users home directories there, but I dont know how to do this. I know how to use fdisk and create the filesystems but what do I do as far as mounting the 2nd drive? How should I mangle /etc/fstab to reflect what I'd like done? Any help would be appreciated!

For this, you should mount /home/ on hdb. That will then put the home directories on hdb. Just put a line in your /etc/fstab to reference /home/ to /dev/hdb1 (or whatever parition on hdb you want it).
