I installed a second hdd on my system. The bios picks it up OK. I used GParted to build a partition on it and format the partition. But -- I'm unable to build a partition on the drive. From /dev/sda1 I am unable to issue commands to /dev/sdb1. So I can't put a folder on /dev/sdb1. How do I do that?

  • What format is the sdb1 partition? Why do you say that you partitioned it, and then ask how to partition it? How/why are you trying to create a new folder from the terminal app?

After partitioning your new drive, you have to mount the newly formatted partition to be able to use it. Mounting is normally done at system boot time, and it uses a file /etc/fstab to know what/where to mount disk partitions.



Take a look at your current /etc/fstab like so:



In terminal...



sudo cat /etc/fstab


You can edit this file to add the proper mounts for /dev/sdb1:



In terminal...



sudo blkid # to determine the UUID of /dev/sdb1



sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bck # to make a backup of this file



sudo pico /etc/fstab # edit the file



using the UUID that you found earlier... for an ext4 partition... add lines similar to this...



# mount for /dev/sdb1
UUID=enter_the_found_UUID_here /media/your_username/your_volume_name ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1


control+o # to save edits



return # to confirm filename to save to



control+x # to exit the editor



sudo mount -a # to mount the drive
