- Type fdisk -l to display the list of HDD in your system.
- Type fdisk /dev/hdb to create a partition on your second drive (in this case hdb). Select P for primary partition, 1 for Partition number and Hex Code 83 (for Linux file system). At the end type W to write the partition.
- Type mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 /dev/hdb1 to create a filesystem to that partition. Follow prompts.
- Type sudo mkdir /mnt/DataDrive to create a mounting point call DataDrive (or any other label you see fit).
- Type mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/DataDrive to mount the DataDrive.
- Type nano /etc/clearos/flexshare.conf to edit the configuration file that controls the flexshares.
- Find the line that shows FlexshareDirCustom and change it to FlexshareDirCustom==Disk1:/mnt/DataDrive/ to make permanent the change. Press Control+X to exit nano. It will ask you if you want to save. Say Yes.
