Hello all.
I just installed SME and the setup was great and configuration is nearly effortless. I am now trying to add additional hard drives to the server. I am not a linux expert at all so bare with me.
I am trying to follow the guide for installing a new drive here: http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/extra%20hard%20disk
The very first direction is this:
[root@hogwarts /]# telinit 1
When I issues this command, the server just seems to lock up. I am using ssh to do this remotely and when i type that command, i lose my connection to the server and i cant get it back without killing the power to the server and restarting it.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
-
Just ignore it and start at step 2.

"telinit 1" puts the system in single user mode, with no "services" running. That means no network services, including ssh.
You'll need to be physically present and logged in on the console to do what you are trying to do.

Thanks for the replies guys. I tried just skipping step one and starting with step two. No matter what I try I get "Undable to open /dev/hdb". The hard drive is attatched to hdb. Just to be sure i tried hda, hdb, hdc and hdd. All of them yeild the same error message. What could i be doing wrong?
-
Does the bios actually see the drive.
What do you get if you do
dmesg | grep hd
-
This is what I get when I type 'dmesg':
[root@hedgewig root]# dmesg

The hard drive should be at hdb. It is brand new and hasnt been formated or partitioned yet.

Back to basics: jumpers, namely. Master/slave or cable select? Needs to be consistent on each cable. If it's consistent, try the other way, i.e. if it's master/slave, try CS.
And since you'll probably never need your DVD-ROM, try disconnecting that and put the new hard drive as master on the secondary IDE channel (hdc).
