Re: Additional HardDisk

["Bilal Dar" <bdar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks ... it really helped, but for copying file system i used the following:

 

cd /home

pax -pe -rvw . /mnt/hd2

 

 

and after step 5 /home directory needs to be created, i was thinking that it get created automatically

mkdir /home

Step 1:

Create partitions using fdisk

e.g fdisk /dev/hdb (for primary slave)

 

Step 2:

Create file system using mkfs.ext3
e.g mkfs.ext /dev/hdb1

 

Step 3:

mount partitions

# mkdir /mnt/hd2

# mkdir /mnt/hd3

 

# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd2

# mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/hd3

 

Step 4:

copy dir. to that paritions

# cp -rf /home /mnt/hd2

# cp -rf /var /mnt/hd3

 

Step 5:

rename old directories

 

# mv -f /home /homeold

# mv -f /var /varold

 

Step 6:

Add to fstab

 

# vi /etc/fstab

/dev/hdb1    /home auto defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb2    /var auto defaults 0 0

Step 7:

Reboot system and make sure that every this is ok and all data in /home and /var is there.

 

Step 8:

After surity of step 7 delete /homeold and /varold

# rm -rf /homeold

# rm -rf /varold

 

 

regards

Dear All,

 

My harddrive got full, so I added another one. Now I do not know how to expand the older filesystems, I just made partitions using filesystem. How can I format it using ext3 and move /home /var to the new harddisk.

 

Thanks.
