Good afternoon, Though I use XFCE on my netbook - and very pleased with that, by the way - I have been trying to also use the LiveCD to help me fix a LILO and RAID configuration on a desktop system.
I couldn't see how to access the main filesystems (which are XFS) on the desktop's SATA drives; they weren't mounted automatically by the LiveCD, and I don't seem to be able to edit /etc/fstab, so I'm a bit at sea, here. The 'places' commands only shows the LiveCD filesystem, not the SATA drives. (Skip this because this is NOT my question, but the context is this: I think I know what's wrong with the LILO config. The RAID system used to work with /sdb and /sdc but then a separate non-raid disc failed yesterday. Removing it resulted in the RAID system wanting to use its existing drives as /sda and /sdb instead. I did re-configure the RAID /md partitions to do this, and they re-synced ok, and the system was working fine. But on restart this morning, LILO doesn't recognise the 'VFS' and I 'think' it's because LILO is still looking at /sdb and /sdc. So I want to inspect the LILO config, and change it as necessary.) Could somebody put me right? Putting the XFCE LiveCD into the desk and rebooting, what should I then do for it to see the existing XFS partitions and mount a filesystem (even if only for inspection, that would be a help so I can do some checks)? (I'm not expecting detailed RAID advice here - I'll happily ask on the RAID list if I need that - I just want to 'see' the existing drives and files using the LiveCD I already have.) Very grateful for any pointers, regards, Ron _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce
