Adding a new hard drive
Currently, my server has 3 hard drives. One has Mandrake 10 on it and the other two are just data drives.
I just bought a new 250GB hard drive for data, so I'm going to pull one of the smaller data drives out and put in the new one. So, I was wondering....
Would it be better to just put the new drive in my Windoze PC and use Partitian Magic to make it a Linux partitian or should I just remove one of the drives in the Linux server and reformat it there?
When I installed Linux on the server, I just let the Mandrake install do its thing because it's a pure Linux box. But, quite frankly, I don't want to spend a lot of time jumping through hoops to reformat the new drive. Does anyone know if Mandrake will sense the new hardware and allow me to set it up accordingly?
