Hi,
I have followed this except to replace ext3 with ext4:
http://linux.justinhartman.com/Installing_a_second_hard_drive
I installed a new HDD and installed Squeeze on it.
When i open My Computer in Gnome i can see and mount the other two
HDD's.
But i cannot get the /etc/fstab entry right, on boot i get fsck
errors on the other two HDD's.
Mount them with:
mount -t ext4 /dev/hdc1 /new-disk as an example works once the system
is up.
but the /etc/fstab example does not when i reboot.
Is it perhaps that i have the boot flag entry on the other two HDD's?
Can you post the lines from your /etc/fstab referring to the two
disks?
#/dev/sda /mnt/store9 ext4
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 0
#/dev/sdb /mnt/store3 ext4 noatime,defaults
0 0
1) if these your lines, they are commented out so they will be ignored.
2) if the actual lines don't include the "#", you need the partition
number and not just the drive device (i.e. /dev/sda should probably
be something like /dev/sda1)
3) the /dev/sda line includes "errors=remount-ro", which tells the
system to remount it read-only if errors are detected, but the last
"0" tells the system to not check the partition. The final "0" should
be "2" for any non-root partition (you want it checked after the "/"
partition, otherwise it can't be mounted).
4) do the directories /mnt/store3 and /mnt/store9 exist?
5) are the device letters correct? In your original e-mail you
referred to /dev/hdc1, not /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. The device
designation doesn't change between the command line and /etc/fstab.
They should be the same in both cases.
