Vmware-how to add hard disks in virtual Linux

After starting the Virtual Machine Software VMWare, click the VM menu and select setting. Then, select the Add command in the pop-up menu to add the hard disk. Start the VM.
1. Create a partition
# Fdisk
-L view disk partitions. At this time, you will find that the last line of/dev/hda is: Disk/dev/hda doesn't contain
Valid partition table. (In addition, I added an IDE hard disk. If you add a SCSI hard disk, it will display:/dev/sdb)
# Fdisk/dev/hda prompt:
Command (M for help): n press enter (here typing M is help, typing N is to create a partition, we select n to create a partition)
Command action
E extended (create an extended partition)
P primary partition (1-4) (create primary partition)
E (enter e and press Enter)
Partition Number (1-4): 1 (number of partitions, set according to your actual needs .)
First cylinder (1-6241, default1)
Last cylinder or...: Enter the default value. (Number of ended cylinders)
WQ is saved and exited.
Fdisk
-L view partition information: two more lines are added; first behavior: Device boot start end blocks ID system
The corresponding second line is/dev/hda1 1 6241 valid 3145423 + extended (the number varies depending on the size of your own hard disk)
# Fdisk/dev/hda
Command (M for help): n press enter (here typing M is help, typing N is to create a partition, we select n to create a partition)
Command action
L logical (5 or over) (create a logical partition. in Linux, the logical partition is a number after 5)
P primary partition (1-4) (create primary partition)
L (small L creates logical partitions)
If multiple logical partitions are created for the same extended partition, the last cylinder or... is used to enter a specific value, and the next logical partition is followed by the last cylindrical extension)
WQ save and exit
Fdisk-l view partition information (I divided two logical partitions, including/dev/hda5/dev/hda6)
2. format the partition: mkfs-T ext2/dev/hda5 (hda6) (you can select different partition formats based on the actual situation)
3. Mount the partition: # mkdir/mnt/hda5 (hda6) # Mount/dev/hda5/mnt/hda5 (same as hda6)
4. Mount the hard disk at startup
VI/etc/fstab
/Dev/hda5/mnt/hda5 ext2 defaults 0 0
/Dev/hda6/mnt/hda6 ext2 defaults 0 0
The preceding operations enable the system to automatically mount the two partitions at startup.
5. Use DF-lH to view partition usage.
