Mount broken partitions or drives via the command line
Authored by: willjwade on Oct 14, '03 04:29:03PM
If you are mounting e2fs (linux drives) using perhaps ext2fsx (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx) then you must do something like:
 sudo /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /dev/disk1s1
where disk1s1 is the partition. To discover these partitions do a
sudo pdisk
. then type L. This will list all your drives currently being seen by the machine and their partitions. Infact this is quite handy to find your partition if you cant figure it out using the df technique above. to remount try disktool -r once all fixed. if that doesnt work try
disktool -m disk1s1

Mount broken partitions or drives via the command line

I have couple CDs that I can't mount (I'm guessing because of a • (bullet) character in the title of the CD). Is there anyway I can force them to mount? They work on fine on older systems running OS 9. I know I can just burn new correct ones, but I was just curious....
