nukhem Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hello I need to recover some files on a replaced unraid hdd i had lying around. I connected the drive with a usb/sata dock and connected it to my Ubuntu 9.10 box. But the drive isn't mounted like it does with ntfs or fat or ext3. Ubuntu does have ReiserFS support out of the box right? Do i have to mount it manually? I can see the drive in Ubuntu Disk Utility. Quote Link to comment
jazzysmooth Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 try mounting it manually with -t reiserfs Quote Link to comment
wholly Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Note that an unraid parity disk is unmountable as it has no file system. It's merely a checksum for the other drives in the array. Quote Link to comment
Joe L. Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 also, the file system is on partition 1, so you'll probably need to specify that too. mkdir /tmp/mount_point mount -r -t reiserfs /dev/sdX1 /tmp/mount_point where sdX is the correct device name for the disk followed by a "1". Under ubuntu you will probably need to sudu those commands. Quote Link to comment
nukhem Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 This is what I did: root@ubuntu:/home/bart# mkdir /tmp/mount_point root@ubuntu:/home/bart# mount -r -t reiserfs /dev/sdb1 /tmp/mount_point mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /tmp/mount_point busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /media/9d990ea2-759e-4c63-bc7e-34756b7c5e88 root@ubuntu:/home/bart# Do i have to unmount it first?

Looks like it auto-mounted it for you. Yes, you can umount /dev/sdb1 and then mount it on your own mount point... Joe L. Quote Link to comment
nukhem Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Ok that seems to be working, but now i have a problem accessing the actual mount point: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "mount_point". Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Ok that seems to be working, but now i have a problem accessing the actual mount point: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "mount_point". you probably have to run the commands with sudo Quote Link to comment
ReneV Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Ok that seems to be working, but now i have a problem accessing the actual mount point: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "mount_point". sudo chown <you>:<your_group> <mountpoint> Quote Link to comment
purko Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 ...or just become root for the rest of the session: sudo su Quote Link to comment
wholly Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Kinda regretting not just looking at it on the mount point that ubuntu gave it automatically now? (grin) I love it when a system helps me and I just insist on doing things the hard way... (It happens WAY too often) Quote Link to comment
