Adding a harddrive

[Ragnar Wiencke]

Hi there again.   I got RH 7.2 installed on a box and need to add the third HD to it. Running df I can see that the filesystem on the to HD's originally on the machine is ext3. Running fdisk on the third IDE HD 'fdisk /dev/hdc' gives me some trouble. This is fdisk version 2.11f. Listing the known partition type does not show me ext3 nor ext2, so I chose type '83 Linux' and then primary no1. Is that correct? How do I edit the fstab file? I read the man page for fstab, tried various ideas I got from reading it and clone some lines from it, but then the machine won't boot properly. What about the mounting point. Do I have to create it first with 'mkdir /xxx' ?  Looking forward to read your replies. Thanks in advance. Ragnar W.
