Gilbert....sorry I didn't register scsi in my head when I
originally answered your question and there were some other
errors as well. So please ignore my first message, I've had
my coffee now. :-)
use:
fdisk /dev/sdb
(if, in fact sdb is the drive) to partition it say as one
partition called sdb1. Then use:
mkfs.<filesystemtype> /dev/sdb1
to format it (mkfs.<filesystemtype> may be mkfs.ext2 or
mkfs.reiserfs)
Finally put an entry into your /etc/fstab file to give it a
mountpoint and tell the system to mount it at boot time,
like:
/dev/sdb1 /cache <filesystemtype> defaults 1 2
Where <filesystemtype> may be ext2 or reiserfs.
