Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i m glad i find this forum, i m total new to linux and i have a problem,
i have a server (debian installed) and it have some hard disks all mirrored in dev/sda1 /test/test1
(i dont use raid)
i have added the disks to test1 dir with this ssh commant :
mount -t xfs /dev/sda1 /test/test1
the problem is that when i m restarting the server its not possible to see the disks and i have to run the commant once more.
how is possible to run this commant on the server start up?
can anyone help with this?
thanks in advance
As root, edit the /etc/fstab file. The line that corresponds to your drive will have a 'noauto' entry. Set this to 'auto' and it will mount upon start up.
I have none of the external drives set to mount on startup (See /dev/cdrom/, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 is set to "noauto" on the 4th column). Setting these to "auto" will mount these drives on startup.
Not to confuse with the "auto" on the 3rd column though... "auto" on the 3rd column means "detect the filesystem automatically"
1. What filesystem does your SCSI drive [/dev/sda1] use? It can't be "ext3" and "xfs" in the same time. This means one of the line just won't work. Issuing "fdisk /dev/sda" and pressing "p" will make it clear which filesystem is correct [press "q" to quit the fdisk].
2. Where do you want your SCSI drive to be mounted? If /test/test1 is OK for you and you don't need to have it available from /raid, you can just comment the "/dev/sda1 /raid ext3 defaults 0 0" line out.
Hope it helps
