Hello,
I have added a new hard disk on my machine and I must change my fstab file.
Can you advise me what how to proced before that all be destroyed yet.

Y have now :
primary master : hda3 ext2 ; hda2 swap ; hda1 boot  (linux)
           slave    :  hdb1 ext2 (dd added) (linux)
secondary master : hdc1 (other OS)

My questions :
Q1. Is it possible to mount hdb1 for example in /usr/local  and to use
/usr/local  as befor i.e.put the source of  soft and compile it as usual ?
In this case is the new line in fstab suitable ? :

/dev/hdb1    /usr/local     ext2     defaults,user   0   2

I am not sure for the fields  <option>  <dump> <pass> ?

Q2. Is it possible to use hdb1 like the extension of  hda3  i.e. when hda3
is full the new package.deb will be installed automatically on hdb1 ?

Thanks in advance for your advices.
Gerard.
