Hello all,
used to be i could install a second drive, taken from another linux box,
and mount it with something like:
mount /dev/hdb2 /data
well now on a fresh fc6 (64 bit) install i can not do that.
here's my set up:
2 drives: hda and hdb. hda holds my new install. hdb was from an older
install and i need to get files from it. it's from an i386 install and
the machine kinda melted down.
when i run the command:
mount /dev/hdb2 /data
i get the mount: you must specify the filesystem type error. i know this
is an ext3 filesystem (it's also from FC6). if i try to specify the
filesystem with:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /data
i get:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
what am i doing wrong?
i can mount /dev/hdb1 and i get the boot partition showing up just find.
but hdb2 will not show up.
any suggestions?
thanks all.
jack
