Over the weekend I performed a Redhat 5.1 EVERYTHING install.  After
installing StarOffice and several other packages, the limits of the 900
Meg partition I configured are being challenged.

I have attempted to add a second drive (1.2 Gig IDE) and I'm having no
luck getting it mounted.  This is what I did (as best I can recall):

Used fdisk to create a single Linux Native partition on /dev/hdb1
Used the GUI file system tool to format the drive as ext2
Used the GUI tool to set the mount point as /usr2

I looked at /etc/fstab and the mount information is there.  During
bootup, I see an error message something like:
"mount error -- /usr2 does not exist"  (can't remember exact error).

I'd like to do this over again from scratch, preferably without the aid
of the GUI tools.  Can someone give me a quick and dirty lesson on
partitioning/formatting/filesystem/mounting process?  The way I SHOULD
have done it?

Thanks in advance.

Dave
