Hello Ken,
Warning: I"m not running SuSE.
1) Yes, you've added it, but it's not useable yet. You'll then need to:
a) Low level format the disk surface (see "man dasdfmt")
b) Partition it (see "man fdasd")
c) Apply a filesystem to it (I suggest you see "man mke2fs", but you
have other alternatives)
d) Mount it to the system at the directory of your choice. You should
add this device and its mount point to /etc/fstab.
2) Never run YAST in my life ... I couldn't tell you a thing about it.
Welcome, and good luck ....

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
1.) I added new DASD today to our Suse 7 system, kernel 2.4. I edited
/etc/zipl.conf and added the new DASD, and then I issued a zipl. Is this
the correct way to add DASD?
2.) One of our testers wants the kernel source, so I perfomed the
following steps:
-> Yast
-> Package management
-> Load Configuration
-> Change or create configuration
-> selected zq Source packages
-> selected kernel-source_spm
When I selected the item, the amount of free space went from 95.7mb to
71.8m
-> Start installation
It then downloaded the package and showed Installation complete
When I looked at the amount of free space on the one disk, it had returned
to 95.7. It seems that the source has not been installed. I have 2
disks, one with 95.7mb free, and the second with 2.11gb. I also tried a
smaller source that even when expanded would have fit on the first drive,
but I get the sane result.
Does anyone know what step I am missing? Also, once I finally do get the
source, what directory will it be in?
Thanks,
Ken Vance
