Hello Experts<br />
<br />
I have a server running (Ubuntu Maverick Server on PowerPC) and would like to extend its storage capacity. I therefore bought an external harddrive. Now I would like to mount this harddrive in a way that several folders get a bigger capacity (i.e. webroot, ftp, samba folders) - but to be honest I don't have a clue on how to achieve this. <br />
<br />
I do know how to mount a device to a certain point - but what I would like to achioeve is that multiple folders get more capacity. I'm sure this is possible as I have done it using the guided installer (when you fresh install a system) on an other machine. There I could just choose Linux to use the ext. HD as it would be part of the internal... <br />
<br />
Any help very much appreciated.

Mount external Harddrive to multiple folders

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
