/dev/sda is not a valid block device !!help!!
I am very new at linux. I have installed fedora 6 on my old computer on an ide drive. I also happen to have a silicon valley sata raid card with 2 500GB sata drives on it.
fdisk -l shows: Code:
[root@iscsi-target mnt]# fdisk -l mount returns the following: Code:
[root@iscsi-target mnt]# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 Code:
[root@iscsi-target mnt]# fdisk -l /dev/mapper/sil_ahadagddbhfe Please help me with recovering this data. Thanks ak |
Well I'm not sure how or if you have raid set up but I would try mounting the raid device.
mkdir /mnt/raid mount /dev/mapper/sil_ahadagddbhfe /mnt/raid I would also check /etc/fstab to see if it's mentioned there. Sometimes my new systems have auto mounted partitions in weird places. to make sure of this use df -h That will show any mounted drives on your system and there mount points I hope this helps |

Resolved
Resolved the issue by removing one of the drives from the sata raid card and that allowed me to mount the disk. Copied all the data to the /tmp partition.
I have now inserted the second disk back and created a stripe raid from the sata Raid card Bios. Thanks for the help ak |
