installing a second hard drive on linux part 3

installing a second hard drive on linux part 3

This is a video on how to install a second hard drive on a Linux Ubuntu Server 9.04. It involves formatting and mounting the hard drive so that it is present when it reboots. I even create a shortcut so that it is available when you log into the computer.

The commands I use are:
sudo fdisk -l

sudo mkdir /media/seconddrive

sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1

sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/seconddrive

sudo vim /etc/fstab

/dev/sdb1 /media/seconddrive ext3 defaults 0 0

cd ~

ln -s /media/seconddrive seconddrive

sudo chown techno:techno seconddrive

chmod 775 seconddrive
