Do a search on these forums. There is alots of information here on how to set-up two hard drives with Sme/E-smith. Also check out Linux Newbie they have a good article on setting up multiple hard drives in Linux.

Hello,

Tom You gaot it Right its not easy too look and search on a right way.

But here is the answere.
Listen carefully I only tels it once.

To build a second HD in your E-smith server.

Login as root

Your second harddisk is the "hdd"
 Are your third harddisk

You must first partion your new HD

> fdisk /dev/hdd

Then you must format this drive

> mkfs /dev/hdd

then you must make a config to share the new drive voor a Ibay

> mc (staring Midnight Commader)

goto the file

in \etc\ftab (starting with edit F4)

look for the row

"LABEL=/boot "

Change here the row for a Ibay

example (in the orginal is it /dev/hdc1 /.....etc)

/dev/hdd1 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/mp3/html ext2 defaults 1 2

save the file with F10

And make a reboot of the server (are give the command "mount -a"

And your Ibay is placed on the second Harddisk and in y example you can place all your MP3 on the I-bay.

Goodluck
