Assuming the following layout:
/dev/sdb1 -> 11.2 /boot /dev/sdb2 -> 11.2 /
You do:
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/boot mount -bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -bind /sys /mnt/sys
Now you do 'chroot /mnt'
Philipp, Thanks. In my case I do not have a special /boot partition. And with mount -bind /dev /mnt/dev it informs me: # mount -bind /dev /mnt/dev mount: invalid option -- 'b' Usage: mount -V : print version mount -h : print this help mount : list mounted filesystems mount -l : idem, including volume labels So far the informational part. Next the mounting. The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab mount device : mount device at the known place mount directory : mount known device here mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: mount --bind olddir newdir or move a subtree: mount --move olddir newdir One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir: mount --make-shared dir mount --make-slave dir mount --make-private dir mount --make-unbindable dir One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree containing the directory dir: mount --make-rshared dir mount --make-rslave dir mount --make-rprivate dir mount --make-runbindable dir A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. For many more details, say man 8 mount Another question. Should I not change into the /mnt after it is mounted as /dev/sdb3 ? Could imagine that otherwise the mount ???? would try to -bind the /boot /dev /proc and /sys from my 11.3 system. As -bind does not seems to be recognized, is there another command which would do the trick? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 RC 1 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.34-9-default LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3) 10:07am up 12:25, 3 users, load average: 0.23, 0.09, 0.03 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
