How do I mount a slaved hard drive?
Important
Notes:
- This guide is for customers who have purchased the slave drive option for a reinstall. This will show you how to mount the slave drive to begin pulling your data over to the new hard drive.
Getting
Started:
-
Check to see how many drives are installed: You
can do this using the fdisk command.
|
|
[root@default]# fdisk -l | grep
'^Disk |
You should see output similar to the following:
|
|
Disk /dev/sda: 251.0 GB,
251000193024 bytes Disk /dev/sdb: 251.0 GB, 251000193024
bytes |
- Mount the new disk using the mount
command:
First, you'll need to create a mount point. We'll use
/disk1. This is where we'll mount /dev/sdb1. Enter the following
commands:
|
|
[root@default]#
mkdir /disk1 [root@default]# mount /dev/sdb1
/disk1 [root@default]# df
-H |
- Edit /etc/fstab so the new drive will automatically mount
to /disk1 on reboot
