Full Discussion: Mounting a new disk on linux server
Operating Systems Linux Mounting a new disk on linux server Post 302492758 by jamie_collins on Tuesday 1st of February 2011 11:26:40 AM
Old 02-01-2011
I know this is an old post but I finally had a chance to run the scan script that was supplied and it stated there were no new devices to be found...

I do see the sdc as being 1.4 TB:

Code:
 
RCWLO-ODS10g:/dev # fdisk /dev/sdc
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 171009.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdc: 1406.6 GB, 1406601789440 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 171009 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1               1      171009  1373629761   83  Linux

which is the size of the disk added but I don't see how I am supposed to mount it.

In the fstab the other disks are mounted with the /dev/disk/by-id/ but I do not know what I am supposed to do now to get this disk mounted.

Code:
RCWLO-ODS10g:/dev # ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/
