So let’s make the partition on /dev/sdb by executing fdisk /dev/sdb You should notice that second hard disk (/dev/sdb) has no partition and that probably means that it’s un-partitioned yet. I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesĭisk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Output should looks like this: Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytesĢ55 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders If you execute command like the one below you’ll get more detailed preview of your hard discs and their partitions: fdisk -l You can get a list of disk drives in system using this command fdisk -l | grep '^Disk' Usually disk drives on Linux are named /dev/sda (first HDD), /dev/sdb (second HDD) or something similar. Process of partitioning, formatting and mounting is quite simple.įirst check what disk drives do you have. The hard drives must not be in any kind of Raid setup. If you have two hard drives you can mount second hard drive to be used for (cPanel/WHM) backups or for hosting more sites.
