2 Hard Drive Question
I am running RH9 and have two hard drives. I want to put personal files and a common music directory on the 2nd drive (/home directory?) for our network users to access. How do I do this?

Assuming you already have it partitioned and formatted. First su or login as root then mount it somewhere and copy the contents of your /home directory(without the /home path) into it, preserving permissions/ownership etc(cp -a)
Rename your current /home directory to something else in case something goes wrong, then mkdir a new /home. Next add/modify the /home mount point in your /etc/fstab so if your second harddrive is /dev/hdb you should have something like /dev/hdb1 /home ext3 defaults 1 1 then either do a reboot or umount the second drive, and remount it to /home. If everything's fine then you can delete the old /home if you want to save space. hope this helps. |
Thanks! It took me awhile as I had not yet partioned or formatted the drive, but I finally got it done.
