Hi

The other day my SME server decided to die (hardware failue) so i've grabbed my spare boxen and that is now the SME server for my home use.

In the old server I had an addtional 120gb hdd that was souly setup for my /home user accounts which worked great. But I am having difficulty getting it back to how it was. As in setting up user accounts again to how they were before so I can access my files.

Firstly I installed SME on the box then  plonked in the 120gb hdd and mounted it as follows in teh /etc/fstab

Quote

LABEL=/1  /  ext3 usrquota,grpquota 11
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
/none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
#the 120gb hdd is next
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/bigdisk ext3 usrquota,grpquota 1 2


This mounts fine and SME does not have any winge and the hdd defnetly does still work as I tried it in another pc beforehand.

After this was done I then created my user account again with the same username and password but my files don't come up.

Should I comment out the first fstab line or what? Its been so long since I first setup the SME server so i've forgotten how it was done. Origonally I followed this guide --> http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/extra%20hard%20disk

Any help will be great thanks.
