Adding a HD to a Linux system

Is there a "how to " out there anywhere?
mrutty

Install
Partition
Create file system
Mount


Install I'm guessing you know.
Partition - I assume single so use fdisk /dev/hdb1 (assuming second IDE otherwise number of disks-1 and s for SCSI instend of h for IDE - got to love UNIX type naming).
File system is just normal mkfs
Mount is just a case of adding to /etc/fstab

Best get someone to check in case I missed something and I've assumed no RAID.

If you've not done it yet, it may be worth considering using a journaling filesystem like ext3 or reiser ("man mkfs.ext3" "man mkreiserfs")

You must set the ad_network_ads_377.txt file to be writable (check file name as well).
