I lease multiple Linux servers. One of them has multiple hard drives installed in it. After asking the data center to reload the OS on it, the staff only mounted one of the drives. Surprisingly it is extremely easy for anyone with a root access to mount a hard drive on a Linux-based system. Here I will show you the very basic ways to mount and unmount a hard drive.

For starters, you should first see what hard drives and partitions are available. A real quick way to see the available hard drives in your system is to run the command fdisk -l. The results will give you some helpful information about the drive(s), as well as information on the partitions.

I should point out that your hard drive or drives might be identified on your system as hd or sd. If you have multiple drives they will be identified by a letter, i.e. hda / hdb, or sda /sdb. The partitions on each drive will be identified numerically, i.e. hda1 /hda2, or sdb1 /sdb2. You can see this in the screenshot above.

Here is how to mount a hard drive in Linux.

First thing you should do is create a directory where the drive or partition will be mounted. In my case, I use the second hard drive for backups so I...

I’m streaming Blade Runner from Netflix right now. I’ve seen the movie in its entirety before, but I don’t think I have ever actually sat down and watched the movie. I suppose I will finally know what exactly this film is about.

Here is a line I found pretty funny at the time when Leon Kowalski, played by Brion James, was pummeling Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford: … wake up. It’s time to die! Moments layer he was shot in the back.

By the way, Blade Runner is considered a cult classic, and it is almost, if not, always rated 5 stars.

I love 80′s movies. I often prefer the special effects and animatronics to today’s CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) environments.

I was just browsing GameTrailers.com and I saw that a new game from the Ghost Recon series is is coming out later in 2010. It will be called Future Soldier. I am very excited. I’ve been playing Ghost Recon since college. Infrequently, but I still play the game and its various sequels, like GRAW for the Xbox 360. Back then my dormitory mates and I plaid the multi-player almost every day, and for hours at a time.

Mark this date in your calendars – Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – October 1st 2010. Below is a live action trailer of the game. Update: By the way, UbiSoft has been granted a trademark, by the USPTO, for the name Ghost Recon: Future Soldier?!?
