Depending on what type of drive it is (ide or scsi) you'd be looking at firstly partitioning or repartioning the drive with:
fdisk /dev/hdb for the second IDE drive or: fdisk /dev/sdb for the second SCSI drive. Once you've paritioned it with FDISK, use: mke2fs -m 1 -j /dev/hdb or similar to format it into ext3 with 1% reserve space. ie. the "-j" turns on journalling, meaning it's now ext3, and the "-m 1" says to leave 1% of disk space in reserve - it defaults to 5% reserve if not specified on the command line - 5% of gigabytes of disk space is just way too much "unusable" space for me. >From there, update your /etc/fstab file to mount the partition as an ext3 file system on boot. Note: you could "label" the partition and include the "label" in the fstab (with e2label) but that's not necessary anyway.
