I'm trying to set up a second IDE drive I installed in my RH 7.0 box to mirror the original drive using mirrordir as a backup for when it fails. I am following the directions on p. 446 of the Red Hat Linux 7 Bible, by Christopher Negus. I've got the drive installed and partitioned. That part is okay. I ran mkdir: mkdir -p /mirror/home The directory appears in a GUI file manager window, but I can't cd to it because its not mounted. mount /dev/hdb9 /mirror/home produces a message from mount that I need to specify the filesystem type. I can't find anything in man manual that even mentions filesystem types except in print and list switches. In any case, hdb9 is a logical linux partition within the extended partition on the new drive. Why would I need to specify the filesystem type to mount?
