Search the current archives for a new feature with atacontrol, I think its in this program. It will scan a disk and recover any data it can. Sounds like what you need.Hi,
After wiping out my system :-(, i.e. the root-partition and parts of /usr I'd like to rescue any data that might be left on the machine, like /home, /var etc.
So I booted with the "Live-CDROM" (#2) and went to the Fixit Menu item.
However I can't mount any paritions beside the original root-partition.
To be specifc:
My harddisk basically is one FreeBSD-slice, da0. da0 is divided into several partitions like da0s1a (root), da0s1h (home) etc.
Using the live-system CD (fixit) I can do
mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt (note it's da0s1, not da0s1a as I'd expected)
However when trying to mount another partition (like "h") I get the following error:
mount /dev/da0s1h /mnt3 mount: /dev/da0s1h: Operation not permitted
Since there was no entry in /dev for da0s1h (only for da0s1, the complete slice), I set one up with mknod. This entry is exactly the same (major/minor) as the corresponding entry in my original /dev/da0s1h had which at that time is mounted as /mnt/dev.
Even when having an entry for the partition in question (da0s1h in the example) I cant' mount that partition.
Sure enough the data still seems to be there - the question for me is how do I mount these partitions so I can get the data off the machine before installing it from scratch?
Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald
