I have several servers with Centos running Domino, Sametime etc. I need to setup Sametime Proxy just to use with IBM Connections and Mobile Devices.
We are a small deployment but need more disk space to setup the Proxy on the same machine of the community server
This command above show the hard drives installed
# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
After instal a new one i get this
# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb
dev/sdb is the new hard disk
Create a new partition
# su –
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xd1082b01.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won’t be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It’s strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command ‘c’) and change display units to
sectors (command ‘u’).
Command (m for help):
Switch off DOS compatible mode and change the units to sectors by entering the c and u commands:
Command (m for help): c

In order to view the current partitions on the disk enter the p command:
Command (m for help): p

Now that we have specified the partition we need to write it to the disk using the w command:
If we now look at the devices again we will see that the new partition is visible as /dev/sdb1:
# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
Create the file system
# /sbin/mkfs.ext3 -L /proxy /dev/sdb1
Mounting the filesystem
mkdir /stproxy
# mount /dev/sdb1 /stproxy
Configuring Centos 6 to Automatically Mount a Filesystem
Edit /etc/fstab
add the line
LABEL=/proxy /stproxy ext3 defaults 1 2
