Hey guys,
I'm a newbie at Linux and would like to learn it. So here comes my first question when installing CentOS. I have two hard drives installed - one 1TB and the other is a 2TB drive. What I would like to do is have everything mounted on the 1TB drive but just have /home mounted on the 2TB drive. How would I go about doing this in creating custom partition? Thanks for the help in advance! :D |

See the Installation Guide section http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-diskpartitioning-x86.html
One way would be to uncheck the 2nd drive at the partitioning step during installation and check the option to review and modify, then let the installer create the default setup on the first drive. Then review the setup, create an ext3 partition using the entire 2nd drive, specifying /home as the mount point, then proceed as normal. This is off the top of the head so the exact language may be a bit different, but hopefully you get the idea. |
