Hmm, maybe I'm doing something wrong. It looks as though I created it ok: #df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 3.2G 2.5G 510M 84% / /dev/hda1 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdb1 3.2G 2.5G 510M 84% / Above command shows, it's only 510M free??? Yet it's a 13G drive: #fdisk /dev/hdb The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1582. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hdb: 13.0 GB, 13020069888 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1582 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 1582 12707383+ 83 Linux I tried to create a directory that I could add to the /etc/fstab to mount at boot: # mkdir /dev/hdb1/data mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/hdb1/data': Not a directory I want to use all of the drive as a mount point, say, "Data", what am I doing wrong? ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Gavin McDonald" <gavitron@xxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: me@xxxxxxxxxxxx,General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "'General Red Hat Linux discussion list'" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: Second drive Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2006 12:43:28 -0800 It's fairly straightforward; fdisk, cfdisk, diskdruid will all partition the drive, format it with the chosen FileSystem, (ext2, ext3, reiserFS, etc) make a mount point, (mkdir /foo) add the mount info to /etc/fstab to mount at boot. Details can be googled.
