Question ETCH - usb harddrive mount


Hi All,

I have two ext3 drives recovered from a failed NSLU2 network file server.

I need to recover some of the files stored on them, so...

I attempted to mount them on my debian ETCH (LV file system), thus:

# mkdir /mnt/usbdrive

# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive

Instead of seeing the drive content I see my harddrive's GRUB & Kernel partition.

What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to see the drive's content?

Thanks
Nick

/dev/sda1
is /dev/sda1 the usb drive?
do a
fdisk -l
to see which drive is the usb
or look at dmesg
