  Sorry i did not see the second part of your question on how to 
have linux recognize a newly made partition. I am not a redhat user, 
but i bet it has a graphical user interface for this purpose as 
Mandrake and Suse (that i have been using) have such tool. 
  Even without such a graphical tool, it should be equally easy to 
do so. You only need to add a line to you fstab file (/etc/fstab) 
defining the new partition. I have four F32 partitions in my system. 
The coresponding lines in my fstab file are as follows: 
 
/dev/sdc5 /mnt/wind vfat 
iocharset=iso8859-1,uid=501,gid=500,codepage=850 0 0 
/dev/sdc6 /mnt/wine vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 
0 
/dev/sdc7 /mnt/winf vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 
0 
/dev/sdc8 /mnt/wing vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 
0 
 
Note that /mnt/wind and the others are directories that i have 
already defined. That means i run the command > mkdir /mnt/wind. 
/mnt is where Mandrake usually puts non-linux file systems, 
DVD/CD-ROMs, floppies, any USB or other storage device. You can 
easily find where redhat put these filesystems by surfing the root 
file system of redhat. 
  You probably need to change sdc5 to something like hda2 or so. You 
can get this information by having look as KDE control center > 
information > storage devices or similar utilities. 
 
  After adding similar lines, all you need to do is to reboot or 
just simply enter the command mount -a in a terminal. This will 
mount any partition and filesystem including the new ones. 
  The options uid=501,gid=500 are not necessary. They specify that 
only a particular user or a group of users in your linux box have 
read/write permission on the partition.  
 
Note that all these should be done as root. If you are logged in as 
a user, open a terminal type su (logging in as root) and enter your 
root password. 
 
 I hope these will be useful. You can also find these information by 
checking Linux forums and mailing lists or abundant linux resources 
on the internet.
