Larry,
You can use fdisk or cfdisk to partition it. I like cfdisk
better. Then run mke2fs to format the partation it. If you are running
three SCSI drives, and made 2 partations, you would use something like:
cfdisk /dev/sdc
mke2fs /dev/sdc1
mke2fs /dev/sdc2
For IDE drives, it depends on the controler and master/slave.
/dev/hda IDE0 master
/dev/hdb IDE0 slave
/dev/hdc IDE1 master
/dev/hdd IDE1 slave
/dev/hde IDE2 master
/dev/hdf IDE2 slave
/dev/hdg IDE3 master
/dev/hdh IDE3 slave
For partation numbers, it depends on what you creat with (c)fdisk.
After you get it formatted, put entries for the new partations in
/etc/fstab. You can edit it by hand, use Linux config, or Red Hat's GUI
based tools...
