move account to second hard drive

[HostingZero.com]

I am trying to move one account to my second hard drive. I get "Sorry, there is only one drive in this machine" when trying to do this. Anyone knows why? My second hard drive IS present and mounted.

You probably need to format the drive and mount it. In WHM click on disk drives and then format/mount a new hard drive.

I have some stuff on it. But why would I have to format it? Plus, if I go to "Format/Mount a new Hard Drive" I get: "Found Disk: hdc ...". I don't have hdc. I have hda & hdb. Help?

Mine came out has hdc too.

This is weird. So...does anyone know how to move account(s) to another partition using this feature?

If WHM can't see it, are you sure its mounted? Does ithe drive show up if you type in a consol:
df -h

First look at the partition table:
######################

#fdisk -l

then depending on what it shows /dev/hdb (or hdc--should be hdb though);

issue the command,

# fdisk /dev/hdb

select n to create new partition and then partition it as you wish.

Next;

Issue part probe command to refresh partition table in the memory
Then;
# fdisk -l ( see the differences)

format those partitions
################
# mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1 ( and so on depending on the number of partitions )
Then you can apply a label on the partition if you want.

Next create any folder say /newhdd ( is on /dev/hda) and use it to mount point for the partions in the 2nd harddisk

#mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /newhdd

Add an entry to /etc/fstab so that these partitions are mounted on boot.

Move the /home/<username> folder to /newhdd after your mount the partition.

Now create a symlink in /home dir of hda .

ln -s /newhdd/<username> /home/<username>
