Hi, I have a machine here running I think slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.4.32. I would like to take a complete backup of the filesystem, so I put the drive into a machine running slackware 12.1 (2.6.24.5). The partitions on the disk don't show up...the drive has two partitions, swap and ext3, and I can see them fine on the system itself running kernel 2.4.32, but on any 2.6.x system it appears that there is one partition acording to fdisk (type 55/EZ-Drive). Anyone have any idea why this is happening? -- Shoot me again. Just proving that the quickest way to solve the problem is to post a whine to the newsgroups: within moments the solution presents itself to me, and meanwhile my ass is hanging out on the Net... *sigh*... -- Dave Phillips, dlphilp at bright.net, about problem solving via news
