Help in mounting old drives

Hi Everyone,

My old setup was below.

1st Drive 80GB - Fedora 12 and Amahi
2nd Drive 2TB - Where all of my Music, Movies, etc files
3rd Drive 2TB - Greyhole
4th Drive 2TB - Greyhole

I had issues with my Amahi that I was forced to upgrade to Fedora 14, which I did. Now I upgraded to Fedora 14 with Amahi, my noobie question is... How do you mount my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Drive to my new Fedora 14/Amahi without formatting my 3 old drives? Could someone kind enough to point me to the right direction before I delete all of my files :). Thanks.

Follow the wiki for adding new hard drives. Skip the part for formatting them and your drives will be mounted with data intact.

Thanks bigfoot for your quick response

Below is what I did.

I ran hda-dismount

****************************************************************
Ignoring /dev/sda1 - already mounted
Ignoring /dev/sda1 - already in /etc/fstab as UUID=874c2b78-3c25-4d7b-9ad8-970dd756f011
****************************************************************
Mounted /dev/sdb1 as '/var/hda/files/drives/drive1' (read-write)
You may want your system to mount it every time you boot.
To do so, add this line VERY CAREFULLY to /etc/fstab and reboot:
UUID=89288906-cd5f-41bf-b403-0df345d76f6a /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 ext4 defaults 1 2
****************************************************************


Then I add the line UUID on /etc/fstab and rebooted my server (not sure if the reboot is necessary).

But I changed the path on the /etc/fstab, instead of the default /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 i changed it to /var/hda/files/ (which clearly states on the instruction)

UUID=89288906-cd5f-41bf-b403-0df345d76f6a /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 ext4 defaults 1 2

changed it to below

UUID=89288906-cd5f-41bf-b403-0df345d76f6a /var/hda/files ext4 defaults 1 2


Now I need to add my drive 3 and 4 to my pool, thanks again.

Awesome. That's the way I did it as well.
