[07:20] <lchln> Would anyone not busy be so kind as to help me with some partitioning and mounting via the CLI?
[07:20] <blahdeblah> lchln: Only us busy folks in here. :-)
[07:21] <blahdeblah> lchln: Just ask your questions and we'll do our best
[07:21] <blahdeblah> Or if it's not au-specific, you might find #ubuntu a bit more active...
[07:21] <lchln> it's not AU specific, but no one has spoken in there since I entered. :P
[07:22] <lchln> I have 1 TB drive put into a bay of my server. I'd like to make it contain one partition and then mount it.
[07:23] <lchln> I'm trying to work in Parted but am getting a bit confused. It's okay to start from scratch as there is no data on it.
[07:23] <lchln> Not really sure where to begin.
[07:48] <blahdeblah> lchln: do you know which device name your drive is?
[07:48] <blahdeblah> e.g. /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc.
[07:49] <lchln> Hey blahdeblah, I have it all partitioned and mounted now. Just had to find the right drive.
[07:50] <lchln> However now when i boot up, I get a red 'FAIL' next to "Starting Read required files in advance (for other mountpoints)"
[07:50] <blahdeblah> lchln: My favourite command for locating that stuff is "lsblk -o NAME,MAJ:MIN,RM,SIZE,TYPE,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT,UUID,MODEL,SERIAL" - makes it really easy to find the relevant device
