How to mount extra disks so aaPanel detects them

Note: mounting disks requires shutting the machine down

Please log in with root privileges.

• Run fdisk -l on the command line

You can see the disk to be mounted (vdb). If you don't see one, re-add the disk and try again.

fdisk /dev/vdb

Enter in order: n, p, 1, Enter, Enter, wq

Here vdb is the name of the data disk we saw above; if yours is different, replace it with your real disk name. If it's the same as mine, just copy it.

• Format as an ext3 filesystem

Command: mkfs.ext3 /dev/vdb

• Create a directory: mkdir /home
• Mount the partition: mount /dev/vdb /home
• Write to fstab to auto-mount on boot: echo '/dev/vdb /home ext3 defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
• Run df -h to check the mount succeeded

You can log in to aaPanel and see the mounted disk to confirm success.
