Hi all...
I had a disk go bad. I was able to use ddrescue to copy the data off the disk. Now I have a file on another disk. The ddrescue man page says to now mount the file, repair (I hope), and copy the data. BUTTTTT can someone tell me how to mount a file? I've never done this and can't find anything about it. Please keep it simple! <G>
Thanks!

take a look at mount -o loop option. this mounts a loop device from a file. like: mount my_dd_mackup /my/mount/dir -t ext2 -o loop replace ext2 with whatever filesystem was on the broken disk. Cheers Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
