VMware Virtual Machine Linux adds hard drives

Create a virtual hard disk
1. Close the virtual system that is running in the VM;
2. Right-click on the virtual system name-"virtual machine Settings;"
3. Hardware Page "Add"-"Add a hard disk-" Create a new virtual disk-"SCSI (recommended)-" Allocate space size-"OK;
4, you can see a new hard disk drive in the hardware 2.

First, partition and format the virtual hard disk

1. See how many drives are currently on the system

First hard drive information

disk/dev/sda:36.4 GB, 36401479680 bytes
255 heads, Sectors/track, 4425 cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16065 * 8225280 bytes

Partition table entries is not in disk order

Second Drive information

disk/dev/sdb:36.7 GB, 36703918080 bytes # # found here/dev/sdb, capacity 36.7G, cut not partitioned
255 heads, Sectors/track, 4462 cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16065 * 8225280 bytes

DISK/DEV/SDC doesn ' t contain a valid partition table

The second hard disk does not have a partition table
[Email protected] root]# fdisk/dev/sdb

Partitioning the second hard drive

The number of cylinders for this disk was set to 4462.
There is nothing wrong with the, but this is larger than 1024,
And could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from the other OSs
(e.g., DOS fdisk, OS/2 fdisk)

o Create a new empty DOS partition table
P Print the partition table
Q Quit without saving changes
s create a new empty Sun Disklabel
t change a partition ' s system ID
U Change display/entry units
V Verify the partition table
W Write table to disk and exit

Last cylinder or +size or +sizem or +sizek (1-4462, default 4462): If you want to partition 10G, you can enter it directly: +10240m, because you want to use all the hard disk space, the default

The partition table has been altered!

Calling IOCTL () to re-read partition table.

The following work is the format of the hard disk, I am here to format into ext3

Check to see if it's formatted well

mount a virtual hard disk
Partition well, also formatted well, the following is mounted
I hung/dev/sdb1 under/data1.
[[email protected] root]# MKDIR/DATA1 # # First build the mounted directory Data1
[Email protected] root]#mount/dev/sdb1/data1# #将sdb1挂载到data1

After rebooting the system, check to see if the mount is successful:
