Help with FC4 mount/format new drive! ( 2 Views )

no kitty!
  1. Hi,

    I'm running FC4 on my linux server, and I've got a 250gb drive I'd like to use as a data archive.

    I talked to the IT person at work and she said to format the drive with a command so that the system would not reserve space for the root account. I'm the only one using this server, so I'd like to not have to worry about the 5% or whatever for root on a drive just used for storage.

    Also, I've never mounted a hard drive in linux before, so do I have to tell linux to mount the hard drive each time it starts up?

    How would you format the drive, and what file system? EXT3?

    THANKS!
