how to: mount existing partition on 2nd drive
RH 7.3 installed on hde
I have a second hard drive that I previously had mounted in the first install of RH, ( now re-installed RH) I now need to access that drive with the data intact, it shows up on fdisk -l as /dev/hdc2 start 128 end 2491 blocks 18988830 ID 83 System Linux I then tried the command: mkfs /dev/hdc2: /dev/hdc2 the error message is: mkfs.ext2: bad blocks count - /dev/hdc2 what is the proper way for me to proceed to gain access to this hard drive partition, and be able to mount it as /stage11i thanks Dan |
do NOT try mkfs, this will format the partition, so all data will be lost!!!
try to mount it. command should be: /mount /dev/hdc2 /stage11i |
yes now I have read up on that (mkfs)
what I did was add a line to the /etc/fstab /dev/hdc2 /stage11i ext3 defaults 1 1 rebooted and now the root shows my partition in all its glory I tried the mount command before but I see that you have a / in front of mount which I didn't try. any way, all is well and thanks for the quick response.
