It's time to add a little room to my S.u.S.E. 5.0 machine. I'm adding a Fujitsu 1.7Gb EIDE drive (which formally contained some wincrap and a couple of Red Hat partitions). I can mount the LINUX partitions, so I believe that the physical installation is working. I was just about to run (as root) fdisk /dev/hdb, create a partition or maybe 2, format and add the new partition(s) to the fstab when it occured to me that perhaps I should be using some S.u.S.E. provided tool for this.
I added a second hard disk for storage space, for a backup medium using bru 2000, and for a place to deposit stuff. I ran fdisk, craeted the data partition, ran mk2fs or whatever its called, and added the mount point to my fstab. It mounts now with each boot time. 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. I have a 3 gig and a 2 gig drive with a 3 gig scsi drive waiting in the wings.
