Someone let me have what seems to be an old SOHO type server. I've been thinking that for now, I'll run Ubuntu Server on it with no GUI thinking that having something like this to poke around with will force me to keep my CLI skills fresh and I could do other things like Cron jobs or run network monitoring on it.
This old beast has 3 IDE Hard Drive. 1 is 15 GB and 2 others are both 40 GB. I figured I'd put the / file system on the 15 GB and use the other big ones for storage. I think I set it up weird though during the installation. I actually added them as Mountpoints called /hd1 and /hd2. They did mount this way, but the permissions for accessing them are weird. I might have to be Root, but I don't want all the files I add here to be owned by the root user.
I think what I need to do is somehow remove these from /etc/fstab and use a more normal way to mount them. Preferably auto-mount on boot if I can do that. I think I'm on track, but thought I'd post this here for a second opinion or any tips.
