From looking at the current setup created by anaconda, it looks like I have to setup using UUID or LABEL (however these seem to be blank, see below). Don’t worry about UUID. There is no consistent rule how to specify a drive in fstab. And various Fedora tools handle it differently and you will have a mix of UUID or /dev/xxx specification. > First, my setup. > > I have one SSD that has / and all the partitions associated with it. > > I have three additional drives, two of which are hardware (for historical reasons) RAIDed, and have /home As it looks, sda and sdc are software raid. If you had a hardware raid, all disks attached to the hardware raid controller show up as one drive.

I have to say that I expected sda and sdb to be the RAIDed drives, I thought that sdc would be the new one that has been put in.

Indeed, I get nothing back when I try: At first you have to create a partition and a file system on the new drive, which seems to be /dev/sdb. (After that you should see UUIDs). What says cfdisk /dev/sdb ? If you can, create a partition and afterwards a filesystem. Then try e.g. mount -t xfs|ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
