I have a 2 TB external HDD which I connect to the Ubuntu 8.10 system. However, after connecting the external HDD, I created just a single partition and because of that I could use only 750 GB out of the available 2 TB. I had posted a question earlier regarding the same over here. Now, I realized I could just create 2 primary partitions each with 1 TB in size and apparently each primary partition would be recognized as 750 GB each and thus making the total avaialble space as 1.5 TB. Now, my question is, can I use 2 mount points for the 2 primary partitions available from the external hard disk at the same time? Something like below. mount /dev/sdc1 /media/backup1mount /dev/sdc2 /media/backup2
can I use 2 mount points for 2 partitions from external HDD?
mount;external hdd
Yes. We can use 2 mount points for 2 different partitions from the same external HDD as below. It works. mount /dev/sdc1 /media/backup1mount /dev/sdc2 /media/backup2
