Centos/Linux Help

I'm attempting to install a zenoss server using an auto deploy script which is included in the link. What I'm struggling with is how to mount the drives necessary to use the script.

https://github.com/monitoringartist/...ore-autodeploy

Script requires mounted filesystems:

/var/lib/docker
/opt/serviced/var
/opt/serviced/var/volumes
/opt/serviced/var/backups

Or you can pass a block device for automatic formatting and mounting of required filesystem(s). Confirmation is needed before formatting. Available options:

# ./core-autodeploy.sh -d </var/lib/docker block device> -s </opt/serviced/var block device>
-v </opt/serviced/var/volumes block device> -b </opt/serviced/var/backups block device>

# ./core-autodeploy.sh -d /dev/sdb1 -s /dev/sdb2 -v /dev/sdc1 -b /dev/sdd1

Unfortunately I'm a noob with linux so I'm hoping for commands that I can copy and paste into terminal

I have attemtpted to partition the drives while installing centos but obviously I'm not sure what I'm doing.

TIA

Those look like directories, not file systems. In most modern configurations there are only two file systems mounted by default, "/" or root and swap. CentOS might use the old RedHat model of "/" "/var" "/home" and swap. In any case all you need to do is login as the super user using the command:

Code:

$su

then enter your root password.
which should change the command prompt to a bang or "#", now you can can create directories anywhere in the file system using the command

Code:

#mkdir /opt

as an example. I know "/var/" exists on all file systems but "/opt" sometimes needs to be created if you haven't installed anything from google or you are using a fresh install.
