Yes there is a way to configure it w/o kudzu. Fortunately I've done this in the past month :) You need to do a fdisk /dev/(devicename) command. The device name will change depending on whether the hard disk is IDE or SCSI. If it's SCSCI, it would be sdb. If it's IDE, it'll be either hda (stupid autocorrect) hdb hdc or hdd, depending on which plug it's in. Once you've done that, you follow the instructions for creating a new partition on there. It gives you a command menu and guides you through it, so I won't go into details here. After making the partition, quit fdisk and run 'mkfs /dev/(devicename)(partition#)' (for example, mkfs /dev/hdb1 to make a filesystem in the first partition of the hdb disk). Then you'll need to choose what kind of filesystem to make (default is ext2). To make other kinds, use 'mkfs.(type) /dev/(devicename)(partition#)'. If you want to change it later, then you can use the 'tune2fs' command. When you've done all that, change the /etc/fstab file to make a mount point for the disk. Here's a sample line: /dev/hdb1 /abc ext2 defaults 1 1 '/dev/hdb1' is the device name and partition #. '/abc' is the directory it'll be mounted to. 'ext2' is the filesystem type. Replace those as needed. 'defaults' makes the OS mount it at boot time. '1 1' makes the OS check it for errors at startup. And for crying out loud, don't forget to actually make the directory you're mounting the drive to!! -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Martini 1 Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 4:36 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Kudzu not seeing new drive I put a new ATA 160gig drive into my Dell desktop machine. I noticed that Kudzu didn't recognize the drive when I powered the machine back up. Should it have? Is there a way to configure the drive with kudzu after the machine has already come up? Can I use fdisk to see it? My boot drive is sda. Should the 2nd. drive be sdb?
