Mounting the Second Drive

007-4506-001
For the second drive to be usable, it needs to be mounted. To mount the drive, follow
these steps:
1. Log in to the system as root.
2. Go to Toolchest > System > System Manager > Hardware and Devices > Disk
Manager. You will see a list of installed disk drives.
3. Select the drive you wish to mount, and click the Mount button.
4. Select a file system to mount (the default choice will usually be correct).
5. Click Next.
6. In the window that appears, type a mount point. For example, /disk2.
7. Click Next.
8. Check the box that says Let local users change filesystem contents.
9. Click Next.
10. Check the box that says Mount every time the system starts.
11. Click Next.
12. Double check the settings, and, if they look correct, click OK.
Tip: The settings will include one that says Contents of existing directory will be
hidden. This refers to the contents of the directory on which the drive is being
mounted (/disk2, for example), and should be fine.
13. Click OK to close the window that reports successful completion.
14. Click Close to close the Disk Manager window.
15. Select File > Exit to exit the System Manager window.
The disk is now mounted.
