Hey,
I'm trying to move data from hdd (it actually came out of my
brother's Linux box, but as he's technophobe, I'm going to give
hime XP or W98, depending on how bad XP is on his P-II 333).
Anyway, I'd moved the stuff he wants to keep to a backup drive,
& I have that drive set up on my system. I've set the fstab line
for hdd to look just like hdb, as each is partitioned & formatted
ext2. While I can mount hdd1 (which was swap on his 'puter), I
cannot mount hdd2, wher his data is.
When I mount hdd2, I get:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd2,
or too many mounted file systems
But fdisk says:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 1 65 522081 83 Linux
/dev/hdd2 66 525 3694950 83 Linux
And fstab has:
/dev/hdd1 /Tempo ext2 user,auto,rw 1 1
/dev/hdd2 /Tempo2 ext2 user,auto,rw 1 1
so, as hdd1 mounts, & hdd2 ~was~ mounting on his system, I don't
see why it won't now on mine.
Any idea how I can just get the data off -- with or without
mounting the partition?
