I am hoping someone in here can knock me upside the and help me here.....
I think I must be missing something here. I have a disk /dev/hdc which
I used a long time ago to back up some files off of my laptop when I
upgraded. The partitions are not normally mounted. However, I am going
to be moving a bunch of files around pretty soon and I wanted to see
what I had on that disk and perhaps weed some of it out. here is a
fdisk -l of /dev/hdc:
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 17 136521 83 Linux
/dev/hdc2 18 3842 30724312+ 83 Linux
Now, if I try to mount either partition here is what I get:
mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/temp/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
However, I have tried specifying the only 3 real file systems that I
use: ext2, ext3, fat* and it still won't mount. I am reasonably sure
that I remember making the filesystems and putting stuff on the disk,
but I cannot get them mounted no matter what I do.
Is there a tool out there that will look at the partition and tell you
if there is actually data or some sort of a filesystem on there?
I think I must just be missing something here....? Or I am mistaken and
I didn't really put the files there to begin with?
Thanks,
Shannon
