Xdsl - Mount Other Partitions - Help Needed
« on: November 07, 2009, 05:36:00 PM »

why is the partition table unreadable ?
Do I have to do a native install for mounting the F: drive ?
or to rewrite a partition table ?

Should show right up when you use a file manager and look into the mnt directory. How big is your hdd? If f drive is bigger than 127 gigs then you are not going to be able to read it. There is also a limitation of size on g but I dont know what it is off the top of my head. The reason for this is cluster size. Xbox-Linux will not read 32k or 64k partitions.

do you know how to use emelfm yet?  if you are trying to work thru the command prompt, you will find it much easier to browse your file system via emelfm.

ok, sorry for this reply lag ...

The problem was just to know which device to mount and i found answer here:  http://www.xbox-linu...sk_Partitioning

I just had to mount the hda55 device and it works fine, for drive F simply:
mount /dev/hda55 /mnt/F

The not-so-serious Fdisk 'invalid partition table' problem drove me into wrong direction   rolleyes.gif

thanks
