[SLUG] Mounting Hardrives in SuSe 7.0
Hello All I am trying to retrieve data of a 30gb drive which was running RH8.0. The motherboard had failed and now trying to mount this drive under SuSe 7.0. The drive is installed and appears to be working OK as I can see it under disk management running W2k (dual boot with SuSe) /etc/fstab indicates that; My windows partition is in /dev/hda1 /boot is /dev/hda5 swap is /dev/hda6 / is hda6 Can somebody please point me in the direction of how I can mount this 30gb drive I need to get data off? And how do I find the drive to know what its mount point is? With Thanks dvr -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Usual drive definitions are as follows Primary Master - HDA Primary Slave - HDB Secondary Master - HDC Secondary Slave - HDD Now, assuming you've plugged your 30 gig disk into the Primary slave position, it'll become HDB. To find out the partition list, simply run fdisk fdisk /dev/hdb And print the partition list. Or you could just try mounting random partitions to see what happens mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/temp If you get an error message, then the chances are good hdb1 doesn't exist. :-) DaZZa -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] re: Problem Mounting hdb under SuSe
when you run fdisk do you do a partition listing? If you look at fstab you will see that hda has a number after it. You need to partition the drive or know the partition numbers before you mount the fs. Do you know the format of the partition drive?

[SLUG] re: mounting RH8.0 drive with SuSe 7.0
again hello all a little probing around this morning as to why I am having trouble mounting this drive so as I can retrieve data. Thanks to all who have already posted with pointers! dmesg | less tells me that the drive is definately hdb: ST320420A ATA Disk Drive (20gb not 30gb I previously stated) This drive was my RH 8.0 system kernel version 2.4.18 ext3 filesystem The SuSe 7.0 partition I am attempting to mount from is kernel version 2.2.16 ext2 filesystem Interestingly when I cat filesystems under SuSe 7.0 it tells me vfat hfs minix reiserfs where is ext2? Starting to wonder if the problem is between the fact I am trying to mount an ext3 fs with a ext2 fs ? Any pointers again on how I can get around this problem and mount the dam thing is greatly appreciated... Lastly the thought to create a new RH 9.0 installed partition on hdb then attempt to mount the relevant directory of the old RH8.0 partition. Hoping to avoid this long way around!!

Is the filesysten on the hdb1 ext2 or maybe some other type? When I was using SuSE, RieserFS was my default. Also have you tried mounting the other partition hdb2?

[SLUG] routing problem
Thanks for the information on fixing my minor problem. I went back and had a look at the /etc/resolv.conf file, it look something like this: search peregian nameserver 192.168.0.1 peregian and ip address is the name I gave to the D-Link 624 router wireless access point. I edited the resolv.conf file to read as such: nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 204.194.56.150 With this change I now had access to the internet. I could also access the NetComm NB1300 modem/router web configuration. But I was unable to access the D-Link 624 Wireless router web configuration, was is not a major issue. When I rebooted the debian box, the resolv.conf file changed back to the original text of: search peregian nameserver 192.168.0.1 What I'm going to do next is change the resolv.conf file, apt-get dhcp3-client, configure and see what happens.

Hi Shaun, The Gibraltar firewall-on-cd might be a good starting point if you're only after console mode stuff. It is set up to save your configuration to a floppy or USB memory stick.
