Cara menambah hardisk baru di ubuntu server

sudo lshw -C disk

2. Mulai mempartisi hardisk baru dengan perintah fdisk

a) Initiate fdisk with the following command:

· sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

b) Fdisk will display the following menu:

· Command (m for help): m
· Command action
· a toggle a bootable flag
· b edit bsd disklabel
· c toggle the dos compatibility flag
· d delete a partition
· l list known partition types
· m print this menu
· n add a new partition

c) We want to add a new partition. Type “n” and press enter.

Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)

d) We want a primary partition. Enter “p” and enter.

Partition number (1-4):

e) Since this will be the only partition on the drive, number 1. Enter “1″ and enter.

Command (m for help):

If it asks about the first cylinder, just type “1″ and enter. (We are making 1 partition to use the whole disk, so it should start at the beginning.)

f) Now that the partition is entered, choose option “w” to write the partition table to the disk. Type “w” and enter.

The partition table has been altered!

g) If all went well, you now have a properly partitioned hard drive that’s ready to be formatted. Since this is the first partition, Linux will recognize it as /dev/sdb1, while the disk that the partition is on is still /dev/sdb.
Command Line Formatting

· sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
