Subject: Re: Put home directories on second hard drive?

oK. I went to the HD manufacturer's website and found where the jumpers
were on the drive (on the bottom, when you take off the mounting plastic
thing) and found how to A). Disable termination on the root drive and
endable termination on the last (new) drive on the chain. B). Give each
drive a unique SCSI ID (0 and 1).
I booted up, formatted the drive, mounted it, put the files I wanted on
it. Then I edited the /etc/fstab file, but when I rebooted it said that
mounting /dev/sdb failed and said there could be a bad option, too many
filesystems mounted (?), bad superblock on /dev/sdb, or wrong fs type (I
said ext2, which is the type I mkfs'ed). I thought it could be a bad
option, but couldn't figure out what I did.
My current (problematic) /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda9 / ext2
defaults 1 1
/dev/sda8 swap swap
defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto
noauto,ro,user 0 0
none /proc proc
defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs
defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts
gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/sdb /home ext2
default 1 1
HELP!
