Question Installation of new hard drive under Fedora 9.


Hello all,

I have a server running Fedora 9 on an intel platform. I have installed the OS on a 160 GB Samsung hard drive and have recently also installed an 80 GB Seagate hard drive that came as a replacement from Seagate since my older Seagate hard drive had crashed.

I installed this hard drive onto the CPU and connected it to the motherboard and it got recognized. I formatted the hard drive and created two partitions using gparted. (this hard drive also happens to be SATA and I have ext3 filesystems on each of it's partitions)

The problem arose when, after mounting, these drives were mounted under /media, which means that my system is not considering these drives to be a part of the filesystem.

Even the conky system monitor shows the file system size to be that of the older drive.

Can anyone please tell me how to overcome this problem? I also want to shift the users' home directories to the new drive, but I'm unable to do that because of some SELinux AVC Denials.

First, I need this hard disc to be a part of my filesystem, but how?

Currently, my fstab file looks like this:
Quote:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
UUID=24fc7bd9-e668-48b7-836a-5bc7a293039d /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

how about the output of mount, since the new drive isn't showing in your fstab file..

You will probably need to edit your conky.rc file so it will display the new drive information

you will need to copy your home directories to the new drive, then edit your fstab to mount the new drive as home..
