Hi all,
As a disclaimer, I'm new to this list and very green administering
CentOS. I run it on my test servers and do very basic networking and
server administration (most users, permissions, and web app stuff).
I have a backup server that I am using rsync to collect important
in-process file for our digital library from both Windows and Linux
servers, as well as a specific applications which are updated on a
separate test server.
This backup server ran out of space and I have no more internal slots
available to add another disk, so I bought a 750 GB Seagate FreeAgent
external USB hard drive. I've seen some various issues out there
about how Seagate FA HDs go into sleep mode when used in the manner I
want to, but all of the people posting about that seemed to be able to
mount theirs with no problem.
I can see the device in my /proc/bus/usb/devices file, but fdisk -l
doesn't show it at all. I was trying to mount and partition it using
Webmin, but I can't figure out the device name I need to give it to
mount and partition it. How is the best way to figure that out? This
particular server is running CentOS 4.
Thanks,
Tim
If it's a brand new drive it will not have a valid partition table. A
simple sudo /sbin/fdisk -l will show all drives and their partition
tables. The one with an invalid partition table is the one you're
interested in.
