fs mount problem FC4 to FC5
I had Fedora 4 on a 120 gig filesystem, split between two 60 gig drives, thats where all my data is. I'm now using a single 200 gig drive with fedora 5. Problem is, when I try to mount the fedora 4 filesystem under 5 I can't get it. Here is the output of all the regular commands to mount it.
[root@localhost zack]# mount -l /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) [/boot] tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) automount(pid2055) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2055,minproto=2,maxproto=4) [root@localhost zack]# cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 58633344 hda 3 1 104391 hda1 3 2 58524795 hda2 3 64 58633344 hdb 3 65 58629186 hdb1 22 0 195360984 hdc 22 1 104391 hdc1 22 2 195254010 hdc2 253 0 193167360 dm-0 253 1 2031616 dm-1 253 2 115048448 dm-2 253 3 2031616 dm-3 [root@localhost zack]# mount -s -t /dev/hdc /mnt/backup Usage: mount -V : print version mount -h : print this help mount : list mounted filesystems mount -l : idem, including volume labels So far the informational part. Next the mounting. The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab mount device : mount device at the known place mount directory : mount known device here mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: mount --bind olddir newdir or move a subtree: mount --move olddir newdir A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. For many more details, say man 8 mount . [root@localhost zack]# mount -t -s /dev/hdc /mnt/backup mount: unknown filesystem type '-s' [root@localhost zack]# mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc /mnt/backup mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /mnt/backup busy On this system, it is HDB and HDC that contain the data, and they comprise DM-2 and I believe DM-3. I can't for the life if me figure out how to get this working and mounted before my old (2x60) drives crap out on me. Someone please help. |
Need more info. Output of ' /sbin/fdisk -l ' as root of course. Provide which partition is what and what you want it to be.
One thing you might be running into in the redhat/redhat clone system. In /etc/fstab you need to define the real /dev not the LABEL reference. Example| LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 ***** needs to like this. Your /dev may differ. /dev/hda3 /usr ext3 ****** You can use your /etc/mtab to find what each LABEL= /dev point is. Brian1 |

Post contents of /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab from the fc4 bootup. I am assuming the fc4 install still works. Pretty much need to cut and paste the contents to the fc5 distro /etc/fstab.

this is the /etc/fstab from the fedora core 4 install

I added the contents of of the fc4 /etc/fstab to the fstab of fc5, but I still cannot get it to work. here is the output of some of the commands I ran

Well I can't be of much help. I have never used LVM partition scheme due the issues I have seen over the years. Usually once it is trashed it is trashed where a regular partition can be recovered or rebuilt. A long process believe me. I thought maybe the mtab would make more since of it. I think you need to use the LVM tool in FC to remap LVMs. the app is called /usr/bin/system-config-lvm. There is a link in the Start Menu under Administration or on most called System Tools I think. Been modfing this setup and no longer is anything like a deafult install. Over 4 years old without a clean install. Just updates, custom source and srpms, modifing, piece of this piece of that, and a bit of hacking on the side.
