How to access secondary HDD

Clarifications

Assuming the drive is partitioned already and is using a filesystem recognized by Linux, as root try these commands:

mkdir /mnt/hdb1
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1
ls -l /mnt/hdb1

This assumes the second drive device name is /dev/hdb. /dev/hdb1 refers to the first partition of that device. You may need to look through /var/log/messages for references to your drives in order to identify the correct device name.

You can mount drive partitions anywhere under linux. Create a directory where convenient and mount the drive partition as above.

You can have partitions automatically mounted on boot by putting the mount details in /etc/fstab. Run 'man 5 fstab' for a description of the /etc/fstab file.
