How to add new hard drive ubuntu

[theguymadmax]

It does provide the same UUID.

Code:

The UUID for the partition is the same value, "63C1787F-E1A3-B34A-AE05-EB66F240E17D".

The UUID from blkid is "ec176098-2c7a-471d-9bd2-2c67b954387a" which is not the same as
"63C1787F-E1A3-B34A-AE05-EB66F240E17D". fstab wants that uuid.

Having said that, I think I will update my guide to use blkid since it uses the more clearly named "PARTUUID".

[Doom69]

The "PARTUUID" for blkid is the same as the UUID for fdisk -x.  Just lower case for blkid.

Can you elaborate on what should I do?

I have 3 500GB drives I plan to use for storage (1 works already, and 2 I want to configure so they work too)

[TheDreadPirate]

I'm assuming /dev/sdc is the drive you are already using.

So the remaining two drives are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.

Code:

blkid /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1

From that, make note of the PARTUUID for each.

Then

Code:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

And add the follow to the bottom of the file.

Code:

UUID={insert UUID for /dev/sda1} /mnt/drive1 ext4 defaults 0 0
UUID={insert UUID for /dev/sdb1} /mnt/drive2 ext4 defaults 0 0

Replace "drive1" and "drive2" with whatever folder name you want to use. Whatever name you choose, you need to create the folder in /mnt.

Code:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/drive1 /mnt/drive2

Then you can use "sudo mount -a" to mount your drives automatically.
