i moved my /etc to an other folder (/home)
 

Hi all

i moved my /etc folder to the /home folder....

when i restart the server i can log in with the S for single-user mode....

the problem is i cant move back my folder to the original place.

i try to do

mount -uw /
mount -o remount,rw /

i try to boot from the rescue mode from install cd but i cant do chroot /mnt/sysimage

my system is in read-only mode.... how can i move my /etc back is original place....

THX

live cd?
 

Have you tried using a live CD and just copying/moving the files back by hand?

i try to boot with knoppix 4.0 i cant acces to drive....
i try with simply mepis same there....

Why???

Note: Better to put this in Linux-Newbie or Linux-General

Where you are is more like the riff-raff or blowhard section--take a look at some of the topics....;)

sorry i will rewrite this question in an oder topic ... im a bit stress i have like 1200 user.... and nothing works....

I'd like to try and help but your posts are really thin on details about the actions that you have taken e.g. how did you try to access the drive, what errors you got when the process failed etc. By the way why would you want to move /etc to /home particularly on an important server? Your system won't work properly if important files in /etc are not found.

If you can log in - even only in single user mode - you can copy/move it back.
Error messages when and what you try could help.

Please don't encourage users to cross-/ double post. If
you want to give sensible advise tell them to ask a mod
to MOVE their post to a more suitable forum.


Cheers,
