To see what drives and partitions are on the system use: fdisk -l You should see something like: (as root)# fdisk -l <snip...> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdg1 * 1 203 102280+ 83 Linux /dev/hdg2 204 38144 19122264 83 Linux /dev/hdg3 38145 39704 786240 82 Linux swap <snip...> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hde2 14 2624 20972857+ 83 Linux /dev/hde3 2625 4582 15727635 83 Linux /dev/hde4 4583 9729 41343277+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hde5 4583 4713 1052226 83 Linux /dev/hde6 4714 4815 819283+ 82 Linux swap That shows I have 2 ide drives (/dev/hdg & /dev/hde). If you have two scsi drives you'll see something containing similar to: /dev/sda & /dev/sdb (the last letter (a, b, c...) may vary if you have other, non-disk, devises.) The next digit is the partition, starting at 1. so /dev/hda2 is the second partition on the first physical disk. If they are both scsi, to access the second disks first partition from /mnt/disk2, and if it is ext3, you would want to try: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk2 As long as the mount point directory exists (/mnt/disk2 in the example) and the filesystem is correct (try with no -t option if your not sure or if it is ext3), then that should work. You'll need to be root. Once it is working, you can add it to fstab.
