cannot mount already formatted secondary hard drive on newly installed debian
Hi, I am new to linuxquestions.org
I am having a problem. I have a secondary hard drive (primary slave) that is already formatted with reiserfs and contains files that i need. I just installed debian, and I cannot seem to get access to hdb. There is no mount point set, I know I can use cfdisk to set a mount point, but only after formatting the hard drive..and I do not want to do this. Can anyone please tell me how to set a mount point for hdb without destroying all my data. Thank you kindly.
Oh, ok, i got it...it was a mistake on my part, I thought that hdb1 was formatted with reiser, its with ext3. Stupidity on my part, thank you for your help.
