Ah, not a bad idea.
One problem, I have is that the disk appears under the root file system
(i.e. "/")
====== snippet from my /etc/fstab =====================================
/dev/sda1 /media/ieee1394disk ext3 \
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
=======================================================================
[williams@lion media]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
34G 24G 7.5G 77% /
/dev/hda2 494M 68M 401M 15% /boot
none 1014M 0 1014M 0% /dev/shm
Of course, when I unzip/untar a large file (i.e. in this case 5.6GB)
I ran out of space on the root file partition. What is going on here?
I guess I need another partition.
Thanks,
Ernest
