I have some files on an external volume and wish to access it I did ls but it doesn't show I also tryed: pvs but got: File descriptor 9 (/proc/2268/auxv) leaked on pvs invocation. Parent PID 2400: bash
Can anyone help please?
Would you please copy and paste the text from your terminal, including the command you ran and the output, into code tags in your posts? Your responses so far have not been very helpful, we need more details.
For example, here is the output of "sudo fdisk -l" on Kubuntu 12.04 on my VM:
Code:
user@kubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for user:

Since this is a VM, it only has the 26 GB drive that I allocated it. Yours should look similar without the external drive plugged in. With the external drive plugged in it should have another entry, probably /dev/sdb.
