Initializing Drives
 

I have a new box getting setup now, I have two drives set up in RAID - 1, "mirroring" and I just added two more SCSI drives also in mirroring setup. Basically our Linux file server is out of room, and we need to get more /home space. My question now is, with these two new drives mirrored in, how do I basically initialize these drives, and then mount my /home directory to the new drive.

I went to fstabs which is where you mount your directories and so on. But as you attempt to move your /home directory to a new mount point, it says it is not a recognized point basically.

What exactly did you add to fstab? Have the disks been formatted?

Yeah, sounds like you need to format these with mkfs or equivalent, then I might mount them onto a temporory directory, copy files over.

Then I would unmount /home, and mount these new mirrors.
