[cobalt-users] Adding Disk to Qube 3

[Linda Knapp <lkknapp@xxxxxxxx>]

What is the best way to integrate a second disk into a qube 3? I have
installed and mounted the disk which I would like to use as  /home but I
want to make sure I am not going to run into any weird dependencies.

Let me explain what is happening -

I first tried mounting the second disk as /files and moving  /home/users
to it then creating a link from /home/users to /files/users. This
appeared to work but I ran into problems because I could no longer ftp
or telnet into the cube. And worse I could not su to root at all
anymore. I had to attach a serial cable to the back and then I could log
in as root.

My second try was to go into single user mode and copy everything from
/home to /files (I used cd /home; tar cvpf - *|(cd /files; tar xvpf - )
then  change the fstab so now /files mounts as /home and vica versa.
Everything appears to be working fine.

Are there some device pointers I am missing in the admin stuff that I
should worry about? Am I just being paranoid?
