Title: how to mount old HDD
Post by: larieu on May 10, 2010, 03:52:59 PM

I try to mount the old HDD (SME7.4) into the new one (hardware upgrade with wiki "move to new hardware")
it is mounted into an USB encloser - for easy access
I can see it in /dev/ as sdb
at fdisk -l I can see

Code: [Select]

   
Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *           1          13      104391   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sdb2              14       38913   312464250   fd  Linux raid autodetect

but if I try to mount it I don't know what to specify on -t parameter

any help is welcomed

don't think this is the right spot to post that question, but the filesystem is ext3

this it not correct..

if the hd was part of a standard SME 7.x setup, there's SW raid and LVM layers

@larieu: see here (http://wiki.contribs.org/Recovering_SME_Server_with_lvm_drives)

my suggestion is to get all the files from that hd, then format it

thanks Stafano, my mistake.
It would not be ext3 if it was part of a SME software RAID array.
