Hello guys & gals; I have a question, I have a second drive that I'd like to
assign or use the second drive for user directories, I've been using a
single drive for years and this is the first time I've installed a second
drive, now I have to figure out how to use it and have it automatically
mounted for all users.... How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,
Rx

Here's the Good Olde Way (tm) of doing it:

Just go ahead and connect it. It should be accessible as /dev/hd? or /dev/sd?
Partition with fdisk(8). Format the partitions with mke2f(8), which sets up the
ext2 filesystem. Give the formatted partitions a unique label with e2label(8).
Add the new filesystems to /etc/fstab (see fstab(5)). Create the mountpoints
using mkdir(1). Use mount(8) to mount your new filesystems on you mountpoints.

I don't know where/whether fstab-sync enters the picture, but I doubt it.
