HI all,
Just went to add a second HDD to one of my servers (FC3) and was
surprised to find it already had a second one! Nice surprise I guess.
However I am getting myself confused as to whether it is in use or not,
so just want to confirm before I do something disastrous.

This is a second physical HDD installed as a slave on IDE1, there is no
entry for /dev/hdbx in the /etc/fstab, but fdisk confirms that it is
there and partitioned.

I have tried to mount it using:
/dev/hdb1               /mnt/tmp                ext3    defaults
1 1

In /etc/fstab, but get the following error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
       or too many mounted file systems


Remove the line from fstab.
Mak sure it's unmounted
umount /dev/hdb1

then try mounting with auto filesystem

mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp

What happens? It should try and auto-detect the file system
