How do I delete the partitons on a secondary hard disk with NetMAX?
There are multiple reasons you would want to repartition a secondary hard drive for use with NetMAX. We are most commonly asked this when people want to set up rsync mirroring on a Toshiba Magnia Server. The second drive should be formatted with no volume label in order to be used as a mirror for the first drive.

  1. Boot the machine with the second hard drive installed.
  2. Obtain console access to the machine either via ssh or loging in at the server console.
  3. Switch users to root:
    su -
  4. Run the fdisk command:
    fdisk device (where device is /dev/hdb or /dev/hdx corresponding to the second hard drive)
  5. Use this tool to delete all the partitions. Press p to view the partitions, and d to delete them.
  6. When you are finished, press 'w' to write the table to disk and exit.
  7. Reboot the machine and you should be good to go.
