How to add a hard disk to Linux

Because the hard disk space of the Linux service boot system is insufficient, a gb sata hard disk is added, which was previously partitioned and formatted in windows.

This is intended to be fully formatted into the partition format ext3 in Linux.

First, connect the power cord to the SATA line, and the system will recognize the hard disk, and then view the device in Linux.

Ls/dev/SD *

The specific sdc1 identifier indicates the SATA disk.

Then, use the Linux partitioning tool fdisk.

Sudo fdisk/dev/SDC

M for help

D command to delete existing partion (1)

W command to write partition to disk

Q command to exit fdisk

 

Format the partition.

Sudo mkfs. ext3/dev/sdc1

After mounting, you need to set a specific mount point. Of course, you can also set automatic mounting to/etc/fstab.
