yes also 'dmesg | more'

thank you, i was trying it backwards as well as trying to grep into a file. Either way, I was able to find the solution to my initial problem. Thanks to help i found here.

Now I can log in here, switch to a different terminal. try the command and switch back. That's one of the things I love about slack.

That's a linux thing, not a slack thing. Actaully, SCO Unix also had
virtual terminals. I'm sure others did too.

The 2TB drive IS there, its /dev/sdb. It has a 1.8TiB partition.

When you start cfdisk, you need to specify the disk to use as a command line parameter. It defaults to /dev/sda, which is why you are only seeing that disk. Thats all it was!


Start cfdisk like this

/sbin/cfdisk /dev/sdb

or
sudo /sbin/cfdisk /dev/sdb

However you start it, ALL you need to do is just add /dev/sdb as a parameter. and you'll be editing /dev/sdb.

Alternatively, you can try GParted.

I suspected that it was something like that.
