I spent all of Sunday engaged in the venture of cleaning
my /etc/fstab file.
I have two hard drives in my Linux box, /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb2.
When I installed Knoppix, I learned that the installer will only
copy files to one disk. Modification of the .kconfig file is
possible to enable installation to two drives but ...
"a dollar short, a day late".
The operation consisted of changing /etc/fstab and my
disk structure so that the /home/$USER directories were located
on /dev/hdb1, not /dev/hda1. I created mkdir'ed the directories
/home-copy/$USER on hdb1 and cp'ed all dirs/files to
/home-copy/*. Then the original /home dir was rm -rf'ed,
"/home-copy" was mv'ed into "/home", /etc/fstab was edited
to reflect the new directory structure. I thought everything was OK.
I rebooted the box and when I logged in, /hdb1 did not exist.
To summarize, F'ing with the box for an inordinate amount of time
revealed that /dev/hdb1 was not being auto-mounted on bootup, only
/dev/hda1. I must manually "mount /dev/hdb1" to access the /home
directory.
My question is two-fold: 1) How do I cause /dev/hdb1 to automount
on bootup?
2) Is there a shorter solution to copying
/home/* from /hda1 to /hdb1? If so,
what is it?
