to delete everything on your second drive:

UNDERSTAND THE POSSIBLY CONSEQUENCES OF TYPING THE FOLLOWING COMMAND WRONG (deleting everything on the entire system, period, if typed wrong)

figure out the mount point of your secondary drive, then type:

rm -rf <other drive's mount point>/*

example: second drive is mounted at /mnt/secdrive

rm -rf /mnt/secdrive/*

You should brush up on your unix commands...

The rm command deletes files:

rm file.txt

- deletes file.txt

The -f switch forces the removal (does not prompt for yes/no):

rm -f *

- deletes all files in the current directory

The -r switch removes files recursively, through all directories:

WARNING, DON'T COPY + PASTE THIS

rm -rf *

- deletes all files AND directories in the current directory.

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T just run rm -rf anywhere. If you run it in a place with files you need, you will NOT likely get them back.

so...

cd /backupdrive # Change to your backup disk's directory (note yours will be different)
ls -la # list the files in the directory, and verify that you want to delete them all
rm -rf * # delete all the files that you just saw listed.

Partition it as /home2, using the default settings cPanel/WHM will automatically start populating that disk with new accounts.

Hi What mind this:

Disk /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 (/)

What is the function of that directory??

Logical Volume Management (LVM) is managing some (or all) of the hard drives in your system.

If a do that, what happens with all accounts on /home ? will it work with no problem ?
so... i change default settings to /home2 for new accounts and only new accounts will store on that disk and older ones will be in my old drive in /home , right ?

thanks in advance

Yes but you do not need to change the default settings, just leave the default settings as they are. The partition with the most free space will always be populated first. Your /home2 I assume would have the most free space since it is presumed empty but it will take care of its self without further adjustments.
