Hello everyone
On my balcony i have an IBM PII machine with Freebsd8 on it working excellent with UpTime of 2 years
This is my new problem ... freebsd system is on 20GB IDE hard disk, and is almoust full ... and i want to add one more old IDE HDD which have 40GB of memory
I plugged in the second HDD (which have 2 DOS partitions) and the bsd is up ... when i run sysinstall it`s asking me if i`m sure what geometry that hdd use (is it similar to BIOS geometry) ... i dont know what to do, so i didnt go further :-S
now i tried using gpart command like this:
and then i want to see whats on the disk - does bsd see partitions on it:
I dont know how to use other commands for disk slice and label ... so i`m asking you for your help
So, please, can someone help me with this,STEP BY STEP, to make my second HDD works with this installation of freebsd - i want to use this disk just for one user (all 40GB) and that the mount point be /home/thatoneuser ?
Tnx in front !
