Dear R.W. Morrison,

fdisk /dev/sda to find out what the exact number of partitions are on the sata drive

fdisk /dev/sdb for the same reason.

For the example yields: one partition per disk and so we talk about /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 and a ext3 filesystem.


mkdir /mount1 /mount2

mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mount1

mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mount2

ls /mount1
ls /mount2

This might help you remember what the original mountpoints were.



Kind regards,


Jan Gerrit Kootstra .
