Re: Adding Drives

[Allen Wayne Best <best@atoka-software.com>]

michael:

by the way, there is nothing mystical about putting your new drive as "data" 
in the root. you can put it anywhere you think it should be mounted. for 
example, if this were to be a part of a database installation, say postgres, 
you could conceivably put this in a directory called /db/postgres/flyters/. 
in that case, you would:

i am assuming that the device containing db is hdb5, and that the directories 
postgres/flyters reside on the physical device /dev/hdb5 (though this is not 
necessary.) in this example, make sure data is mounted **after** db.

mkdir /db/postgres/flyters/data

and in your fstab, put the line 
/dev/hdb5   /db   ext2      defaults   1 2
/dev/hdc1   /db/postgres/flyters/data   ext2    defaults         1 2

hope this did not muddle.... :<)
