| Post subject: | Adding a second hard drive |
Hello, I'm putting together a system based on the excellent advice I have read in this forum. The system is to replace my ancient TiVo which I've had for about 6 years, it works fine but I want a more integrated media centre. My question is how easy will it be to add a second hard drive in the future. I'm starting off with one SeaGate 750Gb but plan to add another when I can afford it. Will I be able to do this? I will post my proposed system spec when I have finalised it. Many thanks |

750G is a lot of hours of TV and should last for some time but when the need arises adding a new drive is quite easily done with help from the excellent wiki, especially: http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page ... driveHowTo and, http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=LvmHowTo |

I would recommend setting up your /myth partition as an LVM volume from the first real install and being sure to use a filesystem which can be extended like ext3 or jfs. That way if you add another drive later it'll simply be a matter of extending the volume group and the filesystem. |
