Linux Administration Cookbook

Getting ready

If you're using the supplied Vagrantfile for this chapter, you'll have a system with two blank disks connected. If you're using your own solution, now would be the time to add a couple of blank disks.

Connect to your VM and ensure you can see /dev/sdb; if you can't, double check your Vagrant setup:

$ ls -l /dev/sd*brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8,  0 Sep  9 15:27 /dev/sdabrw-rw----. 1 root disk 8,  1 Sep  9 15:27 /dev/sda1brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8,  2 Sep  9 15:27 /dev/sda2brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8,  3 Sep  9 15:27 /dev/sda3brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 16 Sep  9 15:27 /dev/sdbbrw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 32 Sep  9 15:27 /dev/sdc
