Besides using mount / umount to mount the drives, there is fdisk -l to show you the partitions on the drive.
Is there some other feature of the swapmanager that you want? You can use a tool like rsync or unison or rdiffbackup to make copies of file systems. Or if you use the brute force method, you can do a mirror snapshot with dd. "Bob Crandell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: % Hi, % % I have a client backing up to a removeable hard drive.
