following lines to the /etc/fstab file for each vault created above:
LABEL=/VAULT01 /VAULT01 ext3 defaults 1 2
Repeat this command for each vault.
9. Mount the newly created disks by entering the following command:
mount /VAULT01
Repeat this command for each vault.

a. Change the ownership of the vault by entering the following command:
chown bill.root /VAULT*
b. Change the rights of the vault by entering the following command:
chmod 755 /VAULT*
