So that 2nd drive is sdb, and has a single ext3 formatted partition on it?
Then lets say we want to mount it as /backups - in that case do this:
mkdir /backups
Then add the following line at the bottom of /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1 /backups ext3 defaults 1 2
Once that's done you can mount the drive by typing:
mount /backups
To unmount:
umount /backups
And the /etc/fstab line will also automatically mount the drive when the
server reboots.
