URGENT! Slave drive help

[Ganga]

I have just had my server restored and all the data of the old drive are now in a slave drive, /dev/hdb

I need step by step instructions on how I can mount this drive ensuring that NOT A SINGLE BYTE of its data is lost.

I would appreciate some urgent help, I really cannot afford any formatting of those data.

Thanks

cd /
mkdir olddrive
mount /dev/hdb1 /olddrive

I just had the same thing happen, ie a new drive added with my old data. How do I find out where it is and then mount it?

Thanks!

Type

# fdisk -l

Will list the partitions on the IDE devices.

Then you just need to create say

mkdir /oldhome
mkdir /oldvar
mkdir /oldusr
mkdir /oldroot

then mount them

mount /dev/hdxx /oldroot
mount /dev/hdxx /oldhome
mount /dev/hdxx /oldvar
mount /dev/hdxx /oldusr

and copy the data from /oldx to where you need it.

These are examples, your disks may vary with what you need.
