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.

First, df -h to make sure it's not mounted anywhere already. The first column will show devices already mounted.

Then mount /dev/sdc1 /path/to/wherever/i/want/to/mount/it

If you want it to mount on boot you should put it in /etc/fstab

NNTP-PULL(1)							 nntp-pull manual						      NNTP-PULL(1)

NAME

       nntp-pull - fetch articles from the server to the mbox

SYNOPSIS

       nntp-pull [options...] groupname [groupname...]

DESCRIPTION

       Fetch messages from the server and save them into the mailbox (mbox format). Every argument is supposed to be a name of group, optionally
       followed by a '>' character and mbox filename. If the mbox filename is omitted, it defaults to the name of the group.

       Besides global options (described in sinntp(1)), nntp-pull command takes following options:

       --limit=N
	   Pull at most N messages.

       --reget
	   Start from the first available message.

EXAMPLES

       nntp-pull --server=news.example.org --limit=50 'comp.os.linux>os-linux' Fetches at most the 50 newest articles from the newsgroup
       comp.os.linux located on news.example.org server and appends them to the os-linux mailbox file.

       nntp-pull --server=news.example.net --reget --limit=3 comp.os.windows Fetches at most the 3 oldest articles from the newsgroup
       comp.os.windows located on news.example.net server and appends them to the comp.os.windows mailbox file.
