Thread: Adding a hard drive in Linux

Adding a hard drive in Linux?

Give me some proper solution

What steps will be needed to do this

If you are having any suggestions then reply me.

Thanks in advance

Set the Partition

Enter "fdisk /dev/hdb" without the quotes. Hit the "N" key to make a novel divider. Press the "P" key to make the divider a first. Click the "1" key to give the drive the classification of hdb1. Enter "mkfs --t ext3 /dev/hdb1" without the quotes to format the drive

Rise the Drive

Type "vi /etc/fstab" without the quotes to open the fstab file. Go behind the format accessible in the file and add the novel drive as an entry. Close the file. Enter "mount /dev/hdb1" without the quotes to raise the drive. The novel hard drive is now installed.
