NASLite Network Attached Storage

I just order a second hard drive because my NASLite-M2 is 98% full right now. The board has a second SATA on it.

I guess after I have the new drive hooked up as the 2nd drive will it just auto install it as a second drive? Or do I have to telnet to it and format it and tell it that it's a new added drive?

I did not see any one ask this yet in here. I want to do it right when I get it. I guess it will be easy.

Telnet, format, journal, export, reboot - done.

FORMAT DISK-1

NASLite-M2 will format all available free space on Disk-1 for use as a
storage filesystem. The boot partition and all associated files will be left
intact. This process is irreversible, so proceed only if you are sure.

Now I see Disk-0 and Disk-1

It was easy. Took about 20 min. I guess. Thanks NickC

It showed Disk Model: ATA WDC WD15EADS-00P, v.01.0 and the paper that came with it said "WD WD15EADS Caviar Green Hard Drive". So I know it was the right one.
