Full Discussion: Mounting a new disk on linux server
Operating Systems Linux Mounting a new disk on linux server Post 302475609 by jamie_collins on Monday 29th of November 2010 09:54:06 AM

K we ended up needing to reboot the box anyway and now here is what I see:

Code:
 
RCWLO-ODS10g:/dev # ls sd*
sda  sda1  sda2  sda3  sda4  sdb  sdb1  sdb2  sdb3  sdc  sdc1  sdd  sdd1  sde

definitely different from what I saw last week so now I'm not sure what disk is showing up and what the 2 new disks are.

I tried doing:

Code:
 
RCWLO-ODS10g:/dev # fdisk /dev/sde
Unable to open /dev/sde

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Also noticed that the SAN mount is on sdd now:

Code:
 
RCWLO-ODS10g:/dev # df -k
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb3             98523580  54541540  43982040  56% /
udev                  40973400       164  40973236   1% /dev
/dev/sdd1            1373587836 1143516980 230070856  84% /SAN
/dev/sda1               104376     41280     63096  40% /boot
/dev/sda2             20972152   7265444  13706708  35% /home
/dev/sdb1             33558712     66024  33492688   1% /tmp
/dev/sdb2             10490104   8796552   1693552  84% /u05
/dev/sda3             15735128    330820  15404308   3% /var

Can I assume that the sde is the new disk?

mkfs.minix

MKFS.MINIX(8)                                                  System Administration                                                 MKFS.MINIX(8)

NAME

       mkfs.minix - make a Minix filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       mkfs.minix [options] device [size-in-blocks]

DESCRIPTION

       mkfs.minix creates a Linux MINIX filesystem on a device (usually a disk partition).

       The device is usually of the following form:

              /dev/hda[1-8] (IDE disk 1)
              /dev/hdb[1-8] (IDE disk 2)
              /dev/sda[1-8] (SCSI disk 1)
              /dev/sdb[1-8] (SCSI disk 2)

       The device may be a block device or a image file of one, but this is not enforced.  Expect not much fun on a character device :-).

       The  size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks.  It is present only for backwards compatibility.  If omit-
       ted the size will be determined automatically.  Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed.

OPTIONS

       -c, --check
              Check the device for bad blocks before creating the filesystem.  If any are found, the count is printed.

       -n, --namelength length
              Specify the maximum length of filenames.  Currently, the only allowable values are 14 and 30 for file system versions 1 and 2.  Ver-
              sion 3 allows only value 60.  The default is 30.

       -i, --inodes number
              Specify the number of inodes for the filesystem.

       -l, --badblocks filename
              Read the list of bad blocks from filename.  The file has one bad-block number per line.  The count of bad blocks read is printed.

       -1     Make a Minix version 1 filesystem.  This is the default.

       -2, -v Make a Minix version 2 filesystem.

       -3     Make a Minix version 3 filesystem.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.  The long option cannot be combined with other options.

       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.

EXIT CODES

       The exit code returned by mkfs.minix is one of the following:

       0      No errors

       8      Operational error

       16     Usage or syntax error

SEE ALSO

       fsck(8), mkfs(8), reboot(8)
