Stage 2
It assumes adding one PATA harddrive, but the process will be similar in other situations.
It assumes adding one PATA harddrive, but the process will be similar in other situations.
The harddrive will be named bigdisk, you can choose whatever, just keep track of the name.

Overwiev of harddrives:

<br>Master 1 /dev/hda
<br>Slave 1 /dev/hdb

<br>Slave 2 /dev/hdd
2.1 Let's assume you installed the disk as master on the second IDE controller.

=== 3 Mount ===
Create a mounting point for the new disk
A mounting point is just an empty directory that will link to your new disk.
<br>This can be any valid directory on your server, but it is recommended not to use /home or one of its subdirectories.
<br>In step 6 you will see a much better method to link your /home directory to the second disk.
3.0 Create a directory underneath /mnt
mkdir /mnt/bigdisk
3.1 Automount at boot time
<br>To automatically mount the partition at boot time, you need to add the following line to the file /etc/fstab -It can be done in the text editor Pico
pico /etc/fstab /dev/hdc1 /mnt/bigdisk ext3 usrquota,grpquota 1 2
Make sure you end this line with a newline. Hit <ctrl-x> to exit the editor
3.2 Mount manually (this time) all filesystems listed in /etc/fstab
mount -a
3.3 Report the amount of free disk space available on all mounted filesystems + the type of each filesystem, check if it looks OK.
df -T
Filesystem Type 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 ext3 39151724 28441348 8721532 77% /
/dev/hda1 ext3 101089 8953 86917 10% /boot
/dev/hdc1 ext3 38474956 27948 38447008 0% /mnt/bigdisk
If you don't see a line for /dev/hdc1, something went wrong.
<br>Go back to step 2 and check if you followed all instructions correctly.
