background knowledge:
Learn about the Yingtian number under Linux, I saw HDA1, HDB2, and I really dizzy, why those people have to choose these weird strings. In fact, as long as it understands the meaning, you will find that this is the best way, HD = HardDisk A B C ....... Hard disk serial number, 1 2 3 .... Partition serial number. That's Simple!
If there is already a hard disk, then you have / dev / hda
Add a second hard disk is / dev / hdb
1, FDISK partition command
Root $: fdisk / dev / hdb
Follow the prompts, step by step, a few common commands in FDISK are
M: Help
D: Delete a partition
N: Create a partition
W: Save partition
2, MKE2FS formatted command (some version is MKFS)
MKE2FS / DEV / HDB1
Format the partition
3, maybe you need to do it, create a mount point and then modify your mount information again / etc / fstab or / etc / mtab
This modification as long as you use vi to look at it, it will.
good luck!
