The problem is that on each disk you have a partition labeled as "/". The program e2label uses partition lables so that even if the device number changes mount is still able to figure out which partition is supposed to be "/". The easiest way to do this is to boot the system with the install CD choosing "linux rescue" as the boot option. Ensure that the rescue program doesn't try to mount your disks. Then run: e2label /dev/hdb1 /YOURNAME HERE (or whatever the other drive is) Then boot your system normally, edit /etc/fstab and add and entry for the new filesystem. That should be all :-) HTH, Harry Quoting glenn <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: *> Here's the deal. I'm trying to add a fully-loaded RH9 IDE hard *> drive to a computer that already has one.
