I was trying to mount second drive in my server which was connected via usb, so I thought to post it here as well
Run
# fsdisk -l
to see the list of drives in server..
second drive will most probably will be sdb
1) Make its partition
# fdisk /dev/sdb
press n
press p
press w
2) format drive with ext3
# msfck -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
3) Now make directory where you want to mount it
# mkdir /disk2
4) mount drive
# mount /dev/sdb1 /disk2
5) Edit fstab so that drive will mount after reboot
put enter
/dev/sdb1 /disk3 ext3 default 0 1
And enjoy
