ClearFoundation

My ClearOS-computer has 2 hard drives build in.
Harddisk #2 is empty and I would like to use it to store my personal files, so that I can browse them on my Windows-computers?
How do I setup the harddisk into ClearOS?

you have to partition the drive and format via the CLI after that you have to mount it.

There are plenty of references to do this on the internet such as this but the idea is as follows:
1 - Format the drive
2 - mount it into a folder in ClearOS
3 - modify fstab to make the mounting permanent

You have a few ways you have a Windows share there:
1 - Configure samba manually to create shares there
2 - mount the disk into the /var/flexshare/shares folder and use the flexshare as normal
3 - define a custom flexshare directory
4 - look at the mount command with the bind switch to mount the drive into an existing flexshare folder/sub-folder

If you use method 2 (possibly the easiest), move any data you have in the flexshare to your new drive first or you will not be able to see or access it. (You won't have lost it, it just becomes invisible)

It's a bit harder for me to explain this is not my native language but Nick nice post can't do it better

@Guido

Yes you should do option 2. I think this is best for your situation.

Guido,

You have to partition your drive with fdisk via the CLI. For example:



the x has to replace with the drive you want to partition


Also you can do



This list the drives of you system.

Do some googling
