I have an torrenting system where I just toss in obsolete items. The OS is Debian sarge. I am adding a 16GB harddrive soon. I am not new to linux but I have never added in hardware without doing a fresh install. However, the system is just how I want it so I don't want to format now.
Right now the system is just one 20GB partition for everything.
I want to add in this new drive as a slave IDE. How do I format it, get it to automount, etc?
If possible, can I merge this drive without using any RAID solution, I'd rather have a 36GB drive than a 20GB and 16GB partition. I just want to somehow have a large contigous space for torrents to save in during downloading.
