<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, I think my HD is dead, got the click of death
now, tried all options here and some disk utilities without joy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got two choices at this point, I have an
identical drive that I could try swopping components off or I could send
the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>drive to a recovery place - this is EXPENSIVE - one
place wants £400+ but can't do it at the moment, the other wants £700
for</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4 day service or £1100 for 2 day service! Don't
think its worth it for a bunch of my mums photos!.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, now i'm going to reorganise my webserver
which was:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>10 gb main drive containing var, boot
etc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>40gb drive mounted in as a directory in www for
webserver</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>80 gb drive mounted as a directory in www for
ftp/web files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I now also have a 250gb drive to play
with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm going to install Fedora 1 as its the only
distro I know, can someone suggest a mounting scheme for these
drives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ideally I'd like to end up with operating system on
one drive, non critical data on another, and bulk storage on the 250 -
stuff</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>like mp3's , iso's etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Should I just do what I know - install on a single
disc first and then mount the other two - or should I install all three and
adjust in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'disk druid' - the latter I'm not sure what to do
properly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When i've looked at settings before (letting it do
it automatically), if you set up the pc as a workstation it gives you /boot ,
/usr, /root , /etc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as separate partitions - I started an install as a
server yesterday and it only wanted to install /, /root and /swap </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Advice please.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
