I don't know how it a hot-swapped drive is recognized but if its connected to the ide cables then (im assuming that it will be recognized as /dev/hdd, or it was attached in the secondary slot of the secondary cable) you could just do
# fdisk /dev/hdd Or just use your distro's partition tool (if it has one). I did this when I brought a harddrive to the office to bring home some of my files that have accumulated at my workstation. Mounting it would be a breeze with normal mount commands. (#mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/whatever). Read the man pages before you do anything. Im doing this from memory. ciao! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of nhadie ramos Sent: 14. helmikuuta 2003 9:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [plug] partition/mount new hd Hi All, I've already installed Red Hat 8 on my box. Recently, i've added a new hard drive(hot swap). Is there a way I can partition and mount it without reinstalling? I'd like to try adding it on /etc/mstab, but I don' know if this is a good idea, also how can I set the size of partition? TIA Ronald _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
