Cara Format Dan Mounting Second Hard Drive On Linux ( Cpanel )

1. cek disk
fdisk -l | grep ‘^Disk’

Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

fdisk -l

Output should looks like this:

Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x1c7e861c

Disk /dev/sdb doesn’t contain a valid partition table

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00080071

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 14 104448 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 144 1048576 82 Linux swap

3. partisi

fdisk /dev/sdb

and then use following in the prompt
– “n” for new partion
– “p” for primary partition
– “1” for the first partition
– “Enter” / “Enter” for the first AND last cylinders (automatically use the entire disk)
– “w” to save what I have done

4. format

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1

5. buat folder backup

mkdir /backup

6. Mounting hdd

mount /dev/sdb1 /backup

7. buat supaya permanen

nano /etc/fstab

tambahkan line berikut :

/dev/sdb1 /backup ext3 defaults 0 0

8. cek monting

mount -a
