:confused:
I've added a second hard drive to a new Linux box, running RedHat 7.2.

I followed the "Add New Hard Drive..." instructions at this site, and although things seemed to go well, I ran into problems on boot:

Mounting local filesystems
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted file systems.
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2, or too many mounted file systems.
[failed]

On hda, I have partions 1-7, on hdb I created 1-2.

As a novice, I just don't know where to start with this problem. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted!

MTIA, Max Hugen

What filesystem type did you format these new partitions as?

And what filesystem type did you define in /etc/fstab for these partitions?

Please post the entry from /etc/fstab.
