Second Hard Drive

[black&white]

Hi,
sorry for my question....but...in which way i can see if i have a second hd installed?

In server information i see

Physcial Diskshda: TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E-N, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33)
sda: asking for cache data failed
sda: assuming drive cache: write through


what does it mean?

I should configure backup on a second HD: what is the righ path?

Thank you for your help

Execute the below command on shell :-
fdisk -l

it will show you the number of HDD's attached to your server.

I have this answer:


Disk /dev/sda: 73.2 GB, 73274490880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8908 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 499 4008186 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda2 * 500 749 2008125 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 750 1746 8008402+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 1747 8908 57528765 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1747 3739 16008741 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 3740 4238 4008186 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 4239 8908 37511743+ 83 Linux


so i have just 1 HD right?

Thank you

Yes, you just have one HDD of 73.2 GB. And sda1 to sda7 are the different partitions on it.
