I mkfs'd my hdb1 and mounted it under /mnt/HDB. I then used midnight
commander to copy the /usr & /home directories to /mnt/HDB. When I
look at /mnt/HDB I now see /home, /usr, & /lost+found. I also check my
/etc/fstab file and found:
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/HDB ext2 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
How do I edit this to read /home & /usr on hdb1 instead of being
recognized under
hda1. Is the above suggestion correct?
Thanks Again.
