Hi everyone,
I have a disk related question. I have read some of the posts on this forum and have been able to add a second disk to my system via editing the fstab file.
I used the following.. /dev/hdb1 /usr/local etc... which upon reboot presents the second disk on my system via the web intereface.
My question is how do I go about sharing this disk from Samba. I have tried to use the fstab file to map the disk to the /home/samba mount point with little luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again...
Andrew

thanks. I'll check it out.
By way of reference. I created a group and a share, and then edited the fstab file to mount to the same folder/directory that held the share.
This was the only way I could figure out on getting the extra disk to show up within Samba. I did have to muck around with changing permissions on the folder, but I suspect my procedure was off.
I appreciate the assist in any event.
Now my next step is to figure out how to upgrade to a RAID5 array with a hostspare...

In my experience, trying to implement RAID after that fact is not a fun task. Combined with your desire to have a second partition for /home directories, I would recommend a ground up install with both in mind. With hardy due out in a few short weeks...it might be perfect timing. :)
Good luck,
