Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Jan 04


Something funny is going on on my box. The new hard disk is detected as sda1
and the old hard diks is sdb1 and sdb5, this is what i see from the
partition manager and the /dev folder.

The fstab file reads as follows.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=d413be62-1dc0-434e-8272-23e4fea9a0be / ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=55873b01-c1ff-463e-9be6-e6d31cb2b3f7 none swap
sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/ /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

and its mentioned sda1 and sda5 where it should actually be sdb1 and sdb5
from what i see in the dev folder, but still it seems to be working.

now how do i mount the 2nd hard drive? what is the mount point? and should i
rename the current sda to sdb and mount the new drive as sda to avoid
conflict?
