IDE drives are referred to as hda for the first drive, hdb for the second etc...IDE uses separate ribbon cables for primary and secondary drives. The partitions on each drive are referred numerically. The first partition on the first drive is referred to as hda1, the second as hda2, the third as hda3 etc ...
Linux IDE naming conventions:



Device Description Configuration /dev/hda 1st (Primary) IDE controller Master /dev/hdb 1st (Primary) IDE controller Slave /dev/hdc 2nd (Secondary) IDE controller Master /dev/hdd 2nd (Secondary) IDE controller Slave

Note: SCSI disks are labeled /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc etc... to represent the first, second, third,... SCSI hard drive devices but not the SCSI ID. SCSI hard drive partitions are represented by an additional number. i.e. First drive first partition, /dev/sda1, second partition, /dev/sda2,... Other SCSI devices such as tape backup are labeled /dev/st0 for the first, /dev/st1 for the second and so forth. See YoLinux SCSI tutorial for more info.

Note: A computer system may have multiple drives with primary partitions but only one primary partition may be active on one drive only. The active primary partition is used for booting the system and is referenced by the Master Boot Record (MBR). Each hard drive may only have a maximum of four primary partitions. One may only boot an OS from a primary partition. Extended partitions allow one to place up to 24 partitions on a single drive.
The above example shows the addition of a drive as one whole extended partition used to extend the storage space of the system. It was not created to hold additional operating systems as this would require a primary partition. Primary partitions can be used to extend the storage space of the system as well. It is not precluded from such a function but it will then limit you to four partitions for that hard drive.




File: /etc/fstab



Enter the drive into the fstab file so that it is recognized and mounted upon system boot.

The digits "1 2" refer to whether the mount point should be backed up when the dump command is used and disk integrity checks using fsck. The "1" states that it should be backed up when the dump command is issued (0=no). The "2" refers to the order in which "fsck" should check the mount points. The digit "1" identifies the root ("/") of the filesystem. All others should be "2". (0=no check)
