How to add a disk to a new system without losing the data on it?
Hello, How do I add a disk containing data to a new system without erasing that data. I searched the mailinglist and the documentation but could not find information for this scenario. The system in question is running 4.8 The disk is coming from a 5.1 system and uses ufs with softupdates. The disk has one partition. /\ Vincent ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, How do I add a disk containing data to a new system without erasing that data. Check dmesg output to see the device name. Then try to mount that hard disk. If everything went fine, you might want to mount that HDD on every boot so check /etc/fstab. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the dmesg it comes up as ad5 but when I mount it, it can't find the device. mount ad5 /music2 mount: ad5: No such file or directory How many partitions were on the old drive? You might want to try # mount /dev/ad5s1x /music2 (where x == a,c,e,f or g, depending on the number of partitions you have on the disk) Steve /\ Vincent ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If the system found the disk and booted fine. Look in /dev and see what is listed as ad5? Is there an ad5s1 ad5s2 ad5s3 ad5s4 etc? You will need to mount one of them. ad5 is the disk, you need a slice or partition... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How do I add a disk containing data to a new system without erasing that data. I searched the mailinglist and the documentation but could not find information for this scenario. The system in question is running 4.8 The disk is coming from a 5.1 system and uses ufs with softupdates. The disk has one partition. Would that be UFS1 with softupdates or UFS2 with softupdates? I don't think FreeBSD 4.8 understands UFS2. If you didn't specify UFS1 when you made the file system on FreeBSD 5.1, you got UFS2 format. Otherwise the disk should just move. (The MBR partition/slice table and the FreeBSD disk-label/partition-table formats are the same.) dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MMmm, ok sounds like a new install of 5.1 I guess (:-)) Thanks Dan and all the others who so kindly helped me!! /\ Vincent ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
