New page

For installing the new SATA3 2TB hard disk on my Ubuntu 12.04 workstation, I basically took all info from this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/488213/how-to-add-a-second-hard-drive-to-an-already-installed-xubuntu-14-04

The steps where as follows:
# plug the disk in
# (install +) start GParted
# add the disk
#* select the new disk (top right)
#* created a ''msdos'' partition table (under menu entry "Device")
#* created a new ''primary'' partition with ''ext4'' file system
#* execute the settings by clicking on the ''checkmark'' button
#* checked with <code>sudo fdsik -l</code> if there is a new disk
#*: => the disk was there as ''/dev/sdb''
#* created a new folder ''/media/data'' to mount the disk there later on
#* change the folder permissions for ''/media/data'' so that everybody can read and write(!) with ''chmod 777 -R''
#* it now possible to mount the disk using <code>sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/data</code> (However, I haven't tested it, and instead mounted and unmounted the disk via a mouse on the new desktop icon)
# to have the new disk booted on startup:
#* check what is the UUID using <code>sudo blkid</code>
#* perhaps make a copy of it first: <code>sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_copy_24abril2015</code>
#* edit fstab <code>sudo nano fstab</code>.
#*: so in my case I added the line: <code>#UUID=8bd20968-2af2-4bf4-a898-e692f391134c /media/data ext4 defaults 0 2</code>
#* now ''reboot'' or: mount the new disk with <code>sudo mount /media/data</code> (=> its a bit weird, but this command is without defining the place where to mount is)
