Operating Systems Linux Mounting a new disk on linux server Post 302473816 by jamie_collins on Monday 22nd of November 2010 12:14:49 PM

Yes the devices should be formatted.
I am not planning to use them for raw storage for Oracle and there will only be the one partition on both disks for the data.

You mention to determine the devices of the new disks? How do I do that exactly? What command should I run to see the disks after the reboot?

Currently there is:

Code:
RCWLO-ODS10g:/dev # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508e000000000b855ee6ec6289509-part3 /                    reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 1

RCWLO-ODS10g:/dev #

I don't beleive sdf and sdg are being used but after the reboot will I see sdh and sdi? How can I see if sdf and sdg are being used. If they were I am assuming I would see sdf1 and sdg1 for the partitions.

Sorry if these are elementary questions. I appreciate your time in helping me with this.

Thanks
