Unable to mount HDD - Newbie question
I lost environmental power temporarily a few days ago, and when it was back (almost immediately), the machine restarted without any input from me. I had mounted to /home a 30 GB usb 2.0 hdd. I tried mounting again since I did not find it in df. The prompt is always WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. The output from dmesg is: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: HITACHI- DK23 etc WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. Thanks in advance for any help to mount the disk again. -- Regards Oscar Chavarria Mobile: +506 814-0247 *** The more I know people the more I love my FreeBSD *** --- In a world without boundaries, we don't need Windows or Gates --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try running fsck on it. fsck /dev/device_name The device name would be whatever the partition name should be. That should either fix it or give you some ideas of where to go next. jerry -- Regards Oscar Chavarria Mobile: +506 814-0247 *** The more I know people the more I love my FreeBSD *** --- In a world without boundaries, we don't need Windows or Gates --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try the following before remounting: # fsck -f /dev/da0s1d Replace da0s1d accordingly (if necessary). Hopefully it helps.

The entire context of the conversation gets lost. In this case, what do you mean? You just did an ls of a file name and found that it responsed with the file name. That is normal. So, what? Try doing ls /dev/da0s* and see what you get. Secondly, nowdays, the devfs system only makes devices that are in use and makes them on the fly. I haven't dug around in that since the change since it was changed from the old MAKEDEV system so I may be wrong, but I would not be surprised if /dev/da0s1d was not there until after things were fixed up. So, try the fsck as Mikhail suggested -- with the partition name. jerry On 5/14/07, Mikhail Goriachev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oscar Chavarria wrote: fsck /dev/da0s1 /home fsck: could not determine filesystem type.

If you will excuse me for now. I'm trying to solve the top-post problem. I lost environmental power temporarily a few days ago, and when it was back (almost immediately), the machine restarted without any input from me. I had mounted to /home a 30 GB usb 2.0 hdd. I tried mounting again since I did not find it in df. The prompt is always WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. The output from dmesg is: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: HITACHI- DK23 etc WARNING: /home was not properly dismounted. Thank you Paul, tried umount but the result was the same. Tried this: ls /dev/da0* /dev/da0s dev/da0s1 dev/da0s1c dev/da0s1d Thanks in advance for any help to mount the disk again.

Does df show anything mounted at /home? If so, then the umount will be helpful. But, I think the correct fsck may be the needed thing to try. jerry Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
