Hmmm ... do you know anything about this hardware ? </snip> Only that its propriotary and not worth even trying to copy, stick to the next method of mounting the drive, etc. <snip> > What about having a spare PC, with a small HD that boots a Redhat6.2 > system, then mounts /home /var from the RaQ HDD in the second IDE channel > and starts apache like that. You might need to do some symlinking, etc but > it *might* work. Well, i tried to mount the partitions "by hand" in a running SuSE system which is a bit similar to RedHat. But the partition table seemed so strange i could only mount /dev/hda1 or /dev/hdc1 of the two drives. Have you made any experiences concerning this? </snip> SuSE should have been fine (I'm a SuSE'er myself) and had no problems mounting the partitions before on systems that went screwy. On my RaQ3's here I put the drive as secondary master, mount /dev/hdb4 as /home and /dev/hdb3 as /raqvar (to keep separate from my /var and then symlink) It mounts fine as an ext2 and off it goes. Only thing you might be having difficulty is if its a disk from a raid-array which I *think* some of the later RaQ's use (raq4+ ??) I'm a little confused as to why you had two drives there?? Is this from a raid machine? In which case take a peek in /etc/raidtab and also on the fdisk -l /dev/hdb readout, preferably when the disk is still in the RaQ and see what you get. Hope this helps you along the right path.
