NO I did not mount the partition. How the name for the SLAVE device is assigned? In your example, you have used 'sdb1'. My understanding is that the SLAVE drive should be listed in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Neither of these files exist. I am a newbie, so any help is appreciated.
The following will list the disks and their partitions... # fdisk -l /dev/hda is probably already partitioned and mounted. I'd guess your old unmounted disk will be /dev/hdb, possibly /dev/hdc or hdd. If the partitions are labelled you'll be able to tell what they were mounted as with... # e2label /dev/hdbN ... where N is the partition no. of each slice on the disk as revealed by fdisk. Then you can mount these partitions somewhere temporarily to have a root around in them/copy stuff out. For each partition... # mkdir /mnt/old-disk-hdbN # mount /dev/hdbN /mnt/old-disk-hdbN Will. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
