Have a usb external hard drive which I've been using to back up stuff in my various distros. Decided I wanted to back up my entire 11.0 os. To get everything I needed to be "outside" the distro, so I popped in the DVD and booted to the rescue system.
I can't find the external hard drive. Does the rescue system not mount/recognize/whatever the usb drive?
If you didn't apply a label, then use "by-id", for example, but it is much harder to identify. of by-path.
Other commands: for example, "fdisk -l".
Or, "dmesg | tail", after you plugged in the USB disk and waited for 10 secs. It gives an output like puma:~/log # dmesg |tail usb 8-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 usb 8-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 usb 8-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 sd 14:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 14:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 sd 14:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 sd 14:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 14:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete That means that one can "mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt" Cheers, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
