Title: new hard drive
Post by: Henry Gillow-Wiles on April 10, 2000, 10:39:25 AM

I stuck another hd in the e-smith box. What do I have to do to get e-smith to use it? The system recognizes it, but how do I tell if it is being used for storage?

Tnx..............

E-smith is only designed for managing one disk drive. To use a second disk drive, you need to format it with a file system, then mount it somewhere on the file system where it will be used. Any Linux sysadmin book or on-line guide will tell you how to do that.

There are no plans at present to add support for additional disk drives to the E-smith system.
