(note: this is on a Mandrake 9.2 box)
When adding a hard drive, after i've connected it up, i just have to run fdisk and mkfs, then mount and edit fstab? or am i missing a step?
I've just removed an old hd that was starting to go bad. After moving all the data on it to another hd, I unmounted it, and edited fstab. after i rebooted it remounted it under /mnt/hd . after unmounting it again and removing the directory, i ran halt, then removed the hd from the box. After booting up again, there still seems to be some traces left here and there. there's an icon on my KDE desktop which points to /mnt/hd
here's the output of mount:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)
none on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (ro,dev=/dev/hdc,fs=udf:iso9660,--,iocharset=iso8859-1)
none on /mnt/hd type supermount (rw,dev=/dev/hdb1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1)
Am i supposed to remove the device from /dev ? I just thought i'd ask before messing around in /dev and potentially messing something up. All i used the hd for was serving mp3s over samba.
