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
