[cobalt-users] Add second hard disk



Title: Add second hard disk
Any recommendations on adding an additional Hard Disk to the Raq3?  Size/Type/Install process...

I am new to Linux and more than a little uncomfortable using the fdisk command.

This was all that was on the Sun site:

Telnet to the server as admin and su - to root. Type:
fdisk /dev/hdc
Partition the disk (use primary partition 1)
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdc1
Make a new filesystem on the partition(s)
Edit
/etc/fstab with the following example:
/dev/hdc1 /home1 ext2 defaults 0 2
mkdir /home1 to create the mountpoint
Now try to mount your new partition
mount /home1
