For installing the new SATA3 2TB hard disk on my Ubuntu 12.04 workstation, I basically took all info from the following page:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/488213/how-to-add-a-second-hard-drive-to-an-already-installed-xubuntu-14-04
The install steps were as follows:
- plug the disk in
- (install +) start GParted
- add the disk
- select the new disk (top right)
- created a msdos partition table (under menu entry "Device")
- created a new primary partition with ext4 file system
- execute the settings by clicking on the checkmark button
- checked with
sudo fdsik -l
if there is a new disk- => the disk was there as /dev/sdb
- created a new folder /media/data to mount the disk there later on
- change the folder permissions for /media/data so that everybody can read and write(!) with chmod 777 -R
- it now possible to mount the disk using
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/data
(However, I haven't tested it, and instead mounted and unmounted the disk via a mouse on the new desktop icon)
- to have the new disk booted on startup:
- check what is the UUID using
sudo blkid
- perhaps make a copy of it first:
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_copy_24abril2015
- edit fstab
sudo nano fstab
.- so in my case I added the line:
#UUID=8bd20968-2af2-4bf4-a898-e692f391134c /media/data ext4 defaults 0 2
- so in my case I added the line:
- now reboot or: mount the new disk with
sudo mount /media/data
(=> its a bit weird, but this command is without defining the place where to mount is)
- check what is the UUID using
