Hi
I am having problems added partitions to my sme server
I installed sme into a machine with 3 hard drives
sme put
/boot one hard drive
/swap on the next
/ on the last
As these are all 2g drives I would like to use the spare space
I have fdisked and made /dev/sda2/ /dev/sda1 being /boot
but when I try to format it mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sda2
"no such devices or address...." error is returned
Can anybody help
Paul
I reading about mounting drives it was suggested that that drive should be mounted to /mnt/mt1 etc.
if this is done is there a way to assign space to a folder in a website ( Alias )

I would install the system on a single drive first, and add the 2 extra drives later.
That way you have more control.
/boot takes up approx 20Meg or something small like that, swap probably no more than 300Meg, (very much depending on your memory etc), so it seems a waste to assign a whole disk to each.
I would put .../files on a seperate disk and /ibays on another one.
Search the forums, there are some stories how to do this..
good luck..

Yes this would be a good idea But don't what to do a rebuild again
So why can't I just use the space left on the drive
