I added a second hard disk for storage space, for a backup medium using bru 2000, and for a place to deposit stuff.

I think for the lack of anything better I mount the volume as /stuff. I did not use any tools like yast. I just used the regular ole stuff and all worked quite well.

That's it. fdisk the new drive as you want it, run mkfs on ext2 file systems, as mentioned above. Format whatever else under its respective os.(i.e. DOS / Win95 / OS2 partitions) I like using the old fashioned fdisk. I ususally keep a Slackware scsinet diskette, and a color.gz diskette in my tool kit, because I can boot up a majority of machines with these diskettes and run the Linux fdisk. The Yast fdisk - I like it - but it requries a CD in the drive to use it - and what if I have a machine with no CD - that sux then. Wish I could just run it off the boot diskette ... Mount points: I have noticed that the common *nix convention seems to be to mount additional drives under /mnt. Use the mkdir command and make a dir, say for example /mnt/3gb-1 - descriptive but not cumbersome, then add that directory to your /etc/fstab like this: Once they're in this file, you can issue the mount command like this: mount /mnt/3gb-1 and it should mount. A successful mount returns no messages.
