Hi all,
Though I think I might understand some of this, I'm not sure how much I REALLY understand so your help is greatly appreciated.
I have an Ubuntu box with three SDDs installed, a 500 gb and two 1 tb drives. After installation the root filesystem (and everything else) is on the 500 gb drive. There are no filesystems on the other two drives, however the devices are known to the system.
I want to mount those other two disks. Please confirm for me that what I need to do is:
How can I make a relationship between the root filesystem and these new mountpoints? For instance, is there a way I can get it so that when I do 'ls -la /' I see not only the contents of the root filesystem, but also these new filesystems' contents. Or are they forever separate entities? My gut is telling me that there are probably a lot of games that can be played with the WAY these things are mounted.....
Anyway, again, I appreciate any pointeres.....

I want to mount those other two disks. Please confirm for me that what I need to do is:
- make filesystems for the mountpoints (makefs command)
- mount the filesystems on the devices (mount command) and update mounttab or fstab (which is it?)
