Post subject:  Hard Drive Question

I currently have the following setup

MSI K8 Neo4-f Motherboard
Seagate 500GB ATA 100 Hard Drive
R5F27


I am interested in buying a 750 GB or 1 TB SATA Hard Drive to add to my system. If I add the new hard drive to my system just prior to doing an auto-upgrade to R5.5, will everything ‘just work’, plug-n-play? Or will I need to do some fancy coding or something to get them to work together seamlessly?

The only reason why I ask is because I am a linux noob, and would need to figure out what coding to do prior to install.

Thanks.

auto upgrade is going to do just that, upgrade the existing configuration. If you have a drive sitting in the system but it has not been configured to be mounted etc then it would just be there. Period.

I don't believe there is anyway to automatically take advantage of the second drive

Now you may think in this realm , Under r5F27 I need to add drives traditionally as LVM, under R5.5 I will get the option of using storage groups.
If I just upgrade my existing platform, I would then be able to follow step by step instructions somewhere the build out storage groups and take advantage of this feaiure
