sabayon on both harddrives

Postby hempa » Sat Aug 04, 2007 15:32

hi! i have had sabayon for a couple of weeks now and i am in love. so i wonder if anybody can help me with a little problem i have.
i have two harddrives, sabayon on one and ubuntu on one. how can i clean the ubuntu harddrive so that sabayon can use it (i need the space)
can it be done without reinstalling sabayon, and if it cant how do i do a reinstall so that i get sabayon on both harddrives. or can i do a reinstall so that sabayon sees both my harddrives as one big one??

just use gparted or something and wipe out the ubuntu partion and format it as ext3 or something. You can't make 2 drives into 1. you will have 2 drives but SL can use both. I would put SL on the bigger of the two and use the other as a storage/backup device

have a look here
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/h ... t=1&chap=8

but will be basically something like
as root
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/mystuff

Code: Select all
nano /etc/fstab

Code: Select all
/dev/hda2   /mnt/mystuff     ext3    defaults        1 2


you have to replace the above info with the correct info tho use:
as root
Code: Select all
fdisk -l


that will show you all your drives and info
