Hi Peter, a) in mnt create an empty folder ie petersdisk. its not cool to mount directly on /mnt it blocks other mounts. to say /mnt/cdrom … if its not a new disk. stop. i know nothing about lvm2 (software raid) suggests this disk is actually one from a set of disks. you probably cant mount the disk in isolation from its set. (a striped set would mean the file parts span multiple physical disks. ) if not and b) this is a new disk…have you formated the partition yet? if i recall its mkfs.ext4 /dev/sde5 (substitute filesystem format as required? ) once formated them do: mount /dev/sde5 /mnt/petersdisk ext4 (obv my example chose ext4 just for illustration… i’m a bit out of date on whats best to use.. it can be subjective to the use case, but ext4 used to be the pref for a single everyday internal desktop drive) finally add an entry to /etc/fstab hope that helps Jay > > Peter Alefounder. > > -- > Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk > Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire > LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk > -------------------------------------------------------------- -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
