where and how to mount additional storage

lazybum714 · 08-30-2007, 04:40 PM

super newbie to linux here...

I am making a network storage box

I have installed Suse 10.2 64 on one sata hardrive

I have a 9550sx 3ware serial ata raid controller

14 300 gig maxtor hard drive set up in two raid 10s

When I go through yast to partition the raids it asks where to mount

how is this done?

thanks,

P.S. the command line is not my friend

What type of data are they going to be storing?

images
docs
and possibly user profiles

In that case, I would consider the following mount points.

/home : User home directories (optional)

/srv : Data for services provided by this system

Thanks I will try to do that

this box has been a headache since I started here
would drop drives at random
finally discovered a problem of the firmware between the maxtor hard drives and the 3ware card

now with it being stable I hope to make this $7000 box work now with new the hard drives
