How to install a second new hard drive under Linux

Question: A new 1 TB hard drive (SATA type II, or second-generation serial port) is being purchased, ready to be hung under the red Flag Redflag Linux 6 system to store massive CCD images.

A summary of the steps

1. Connect the new hard drive

2. Configure a new hard drive in CMOS

3, check the hard drive code

4. Partition the hard disk with Fdisk

5. Format partition

6, create mount point

7. Set the/dev/fstab to mount the partition automatically when the machine is powered on

8, set the new hard disk partition read and Write permissions

Ii. details of the process

1. Connect the new hard drive

Open the chassis and discover that Lenovo (M4600, P4 3.0GHz) computer chassis does not provide additional hard drive data cables, the original hard disk is SATA I 80GB (Hitachi), the traditional power supply and new SATA disk dedicated Power interface, as well as Sata's new data cable interface ( Different from the previous and the same port hard drive very wide line). SATA hard drives are all made of a uniform, hard-plastic leather-coated narrow red power supply and data cable (hard to handle). To find an Open data cable, SATA II new hard drive only the modern power cord interface, no longer like the original machine in the traditional power interface, because there is no separate power cord, Exchange: Unplug the SATA dedicated power cord to the new hard drive, Pull one of the old hard drives out of an alternate heap of traditional power cords. A SATA 2 connector is reserved on the computer motherboard, where the second SATA hard drive is attached, so it is convenient to complete the hard connection.

2. Configure a new hard drive in CMOS

Start the computer and go into the CMOS to let the machine find the new hard drive.

IDE Channel 0master:none (no disk)

IDE Channel 0slave:none (no disk)

IDE Channel 1Master: DVD-ROM

IDE Channel 1slave:none (no disk)

IDE Channel 2master:hds728080pla380 (original 80GBSATA I hard drive)

IDE Channel 3master:none (no disk)

In the channels of none, let the computer automatically look for a hard drive. Finally found:

IDE Channel 3master:st31000528as (new 1000GB SATA type II hard drive)

3, check the hard drive code
