    Default Adding a Second drive. More than one Partition?

    I want to add a second drive to the server. I want to know if there is a way to make 2 partitions?

    /home2 and
    /backup

    If so what are the steps to do this ?

    Thank's

    use fdisk to create 2 partitions and edit fstab to mount the partitions.

    It would be nice if WHM had a feature to do this rather than just making the whole disk /home2 when adding a new Hard Disk !
