Hello!

I am trying to access files that I have on a harddrive

on which the Plan 9 installation refuses to boot. I am

now booting from a new harddisk (sdC0) and would like

to mount the file system of the problematic disk (now

sdD0) in a directory (say /n/olddisk). I have succeeded

to mount CD:s (sdD1) by starting 9660srv and mounting

it from /srv:

9660srv -f /dev/sdD1/data

mount /srv/9660 /n/cdrom

My guess is that I have to start a file server in a similar

fashion, and it does not complain when I write:

fossil/fossil -f /dev/sdD0/fossil

I was expecting some new entry named /srv/fossil that I

could mount in a directory, but that does not seem to

how it works. Running "ls /dev/sd*" gives the following:

/dev/sdC0/9fat

/dev/sdC0/ctl

/dev/sdC0/data

/dev/sdC0/fossil

/dev/sdC0/nvram

/dev/sdC0/plan9

/dev/sdC0/raw

/dev/sdC0/swap

/dev/sdD0/9fat

/dev/sdD0/ctl

/dev/sdD0/data

/dev/sdD0/fossil

/dev/sdD0/nvram

/dev/sdD0/plan9

/dev/sdD0/raw

/dev/sdD0/swap

/dev/sdD1/ctl

/dev/sdD1/raw

/dev/sdctl

Thanks for the advice! It complained about security, and

have yet to learn how it works, but adding the option -A

after 'srv' made it happier. So what I wrote was:

fossil/fossil -f /dev/sdD0/fossil -c 'srv -A fossil'

mount /srv/fossil /n/olddisk

This seemed to work out very fine, but I soon relised that

the content of /n/olddisk now was the filesystem on sdC0,

instead of sdD0 as one might have expected?

this should post /srv/fossil as you want. then you can proceed to

if these are actually sata drives, without a detailed
motherboard manual or creative interpretation of the
silkscreening on the motherboard in addition to some
information on how bios is mapping sata ports, there's
no telling where you're drive will end up.

if you run in ahci mode, you can eliminate the bios
mapping problem. then you'll be back to the previous
situation where you only need to know how the ports on
the motherboard are numbered.

generally the motherboard manual will tell you which
ports are which. that failing, sometimes you can see enough
of the silkscreening to tell you which port is which.
