Ubuntu : Adding new harddisk

First we need to list our hardware, is it detected yet by ubuntu? by using this command :
sudo lshw -C disk


make note of where your disk is, for example /dev/sdb


if you have gparted, then you got your self a rich partition manager, just go and choose your hardware (/dev/sdb in my example) and then new and then partition that disk

if you are using command line then there is the fdisk command

now to mount the device, simply create a new folder on your /media folder for the mount point example :
sudo mkdir /media/my_new_hd


and then to actualy mount it to the system :
sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/my_new_hd

now browse and get wild with nautilus

ah yes, to automatically mount the new HD, add the new hd to your your /etc/fstab file to something similar like this one liner :
/dev/sdb1 /media/mynewdrive ext3 defaults 0 2


**to launch editor, use sudo gedit /etc/fstab

I think i'm in love with ubuntu.. :D
unfortunately delphi is not there..
the games is not there..
but there is always lazarus ;)

ah yes, i currently running ubuntu 8.04, old i know, but that the only CD i had :D it's adequate for me to play aground with this powerful opensource OS

Have Fun everyone!
