Re: Add a hard drive to existing system??
All,
New drive install this morning, appears tobe functioning without a
problem. I had some hicups with the fstab file at to the layout, but got
it after some head scratching as to the layout of the file.
Again thanks to all for the great help.

Yes, or stranger things -- which is why 'cat /proc/partitions'
is first on my list of instructions.
