Access external Fedora filesystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Gurus, I have a dual boot system with Fedora 7 on one drive and Fedora 8 on another.  I'd like the Fedora 8 system to access the data on the Fedora 7 system.  Fedora 8 sees 7 as sdc.

If I enter:

$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
$ ls /mnt/test
config-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7  initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img  System.map-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7  vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7
config-2.6.22.9-91.fc7    initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img    System.map-2.6.22.9-91.fc7
grub                      lost+found                    vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7

but I can't access the data on the filesystem from there.  If I enter:

$ sudo umount /mnt/test
$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc2 /mnt/test

I get:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc2,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Is it possible to access the data on the F7 system from booted F8?  If so, how?

Many TIA
Craig
