I am considering changing my server from Ubuntu to Centos. I have been
tinkering with a box that will eventually become a new server. I am
having a problem.
This box has two ide drives. Originally I had a Ubuntu desktop installed
on hda and then added a Centos server installed on hdb. I wanted to try
a different server configuration without overwriting the current install
on hdb. With the server on hdb running, I mounted hda and copied some
important files from the Ubuntu drive to the Centos drive.
I installed a another instance of centos on hda and everything worked
fine. With the hda install running, I have attempted to mount hdb so
that I can retrieve my files. The problem I have is that when I mount
the drive I am taken to the boot directory on hdb and cannot navigate to
the directory that holds my files.
How do I get access to the rest of the drive?
Mount the other partition:-)
After I sent this it occurred to me that filesystem labels may be biting
you. Probably, you have two partitions with each filesystem label. Linux
tends to choose the Wrong One.
Change /etc/fstab to use device names instead of filesystem labels.
"mount the other partition" still applies, but if you're using LVM the
device name has a long and convoluted name, and I don't know how you
"mount the other one."
