Hi, The Asus that I have is G75V series. It has 2 hdd bays onboard. The 500mv is the drive that is current installed and Debian 10.7 is installed. I have purchased another 2T Segate drive that will go into the empty bay.
I don't want to do anything fancy, just install and update fstat. The question is what do I do in fstat to set it up. Currently the fstab file reads as follows. Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Disk model: ST9500325AS Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x0d0d6868 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 951703551 951701504 453.8G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 951705598 976771071 25065474 12G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 951705600 976771071 25065472 12G 82 Linux swap / Solaris Do I set the new drive as /dev/sda6 , 7 , 8 ???? and would it be a single partition? As always any help is greatly appreciated.
