Rescue mode, accessing external USB drive.
Hello,
Before I get to my question, please assume the following: I have just booted into rescue mode, using my Suse 10 boot disk. I am now looking at the root prompt. I also have an external hard drive connected via a USB port. Also assume that that drive has 4 partitions all formated using ext3. How do I mount any one of those partitions on that drive to /mnt? Thanks, Joe. |
Use something like the command 'fdisk -l' to find out how if the external USB drive is known to the system then mount them for example;
mkdir /mnt/part1 /mnt/part2 /mnt/part3 /mnt/part4 mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/part1 (repeat for the other partitions, swap does not mounting BTW) |
Thanks,
The missing piece was the device name. I didn't know which device it would map to. |
