Adding a New Hard Drive to Slackware Server

  2008-01-27 00:30:03
Today we will go through how to easily add a new (or old) hard drive to our server. We will specifically be using a Slackware box that serves up apache and a few others, but the principals remain essentially the same for another linux box such as Ubuntu. So we have run low on diskspace on our webserver since the addition of Gallery2 and need to add another hard drive to our setup. Our first drive was a 20GB drive that we will leave as the root (/) drive and will add a second 250GB ATA drive (western digital) to the mix.
