Hello;
I have a hard drive that contains the /var file system in a system that
will not boot.
In single user mode I can mount /var.
I want to take this disk and put it in another FreeBSD system and
try to copy the files I need off of it to a safe place.
The system I will plug it into will also have a separate disk with
/var.
Is there going to be a conflict with the labels and how would I
best go about this?
response to above query-------------------
There will be no conflict. All the magic as to 'wher to mout what' is
in
the /etc/fstab file. because it doesn't know about the disk you're
adding,
ther won'tbe any conflicts. Simply use the long form of mount(1), to
wit:
"mount devicename mountpoint", and mount it on any convenient location,
say '/mnt'.
--------------
Now I have the hard disk I want to recover mounted but please for give
me
for being in the learning phase, but how to I cd on to this drive?
I mounted it using the suggested 'mount -r (in this case ad12s1d) /var'
now how do I actually read it?
I tried cd ad12s1d/var and I got the 'file does not exist' response.
If I do
cd /; ls -la
I do not see an added entry.
Thanks for suggestions, info, etc
Jeff K
