A secondary hard drive (fat32, ntfs, etc) can be added for additional storage and configured to mount permanently using the [http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter diskmounter] script (thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker). Execute the script as ''root'' and answer YES to the prompt to make the drive writable to all users. Once complete, reboot and the secondary drive should automatically mount.
* Execute the script as ''root'' and answer YES to the prompt to make the drive writable to all users. * Once complete, reboot and the secondary drive should automatically mount. * As user ''root'', edit '''''/etc/fstab''''' to change location of shared ''//hda'' folders to the secondary drive.
This is what the script added for my drive:
''Added by diskmounter utility'' ''/dev/sdb1 /var/hda/files vfat rw,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0''
I changed second path to '''''/var/hda/files''''' to enable all shared files to be stored on the secondary hard drive. This is the default path for ''//hda'' file storage system
