Topic: Mounting the ROOT of a SME 6.0b3 server

[Sebastian Slota]

Hi!

I've a really nice prob...
I have an old e-smith server (5.x)
Now I've installed SME 6.0 on a new HD and want to mount the old HD to backup the ibay data ( some GB's )

the new HD is /dev/hda
the /boot from the old one I found as /dev/hdb1
where is the root????
tried  /dev/hdb2, 3, 4, 5, 6... and nothing!!!

Another stupidity is the /mnt/cdrom. it should be /dev/hdc but it isn't.
Its /dev/sdc0 !

Where do I find my old root????????????

Sebastian,

Try logging in as root and run 'fidk -l'. This will tell you which partitions are on your disks.
My partition layout looks like this:

~# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3737 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1        13    104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda2            14        46    265072+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3            47      3737  29647957+  83  Linux

/dev/hda1 is the /boot (like yours), and /dev/hda3 is the / disk.

Hope this helps,

Kai
