Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux and hardware configs - my job as a web developer only requires basic server maintenance through webmin.
I have a Dell PE server with 2 HDD's. RHEL4 ES is installed and working on the 1st disk but I'm a bit stumped as to how to mount and use the 2nd HDD.
From reading other posts on here I realise I need to provide a bit more info about the setup...
/etc/fstab
Code:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/VolGroup_ID_15986/LogVol1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup_ID_15986/LogVol2 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/VolGroup_ID_15986/LogVol5 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/VolGroup_ID_15986/LogVol4 /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/sbin/fdisk -l
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30394 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sdb1 1 30394 244139773+ 5 Extended
I would like to mount the whole of /dev/sdb1 on /var/warehouse (It's intended use is as an archive library)
All the VolGroup uglyness was added by the Dell OpenManage software I had to use to install the OS as it didn't recognise any of the HDD's when I tried to install directly from the RHEL CD's!
Any help gratefully accepted.
Thanks,
Dave
