I've had an external hard drive enclosure sitting around for months. Basically, when I got my new computer, I copied all my stuff from my old home directory, but I accidentally deleted it all (including the new massassi admin scripts) a while ago. Anyway, I thought I had a copy, and after some struggling, I got the stuff off the drive. So now I'm back in business, I should have these finished up in no time.

No, I have 3 drives floating around and I didn't know which it was Then, I struggled to get the drive to fit in the enclosure (the damn enclosure is too small!). Then, I ran out of USB slots (I guess I need a USB hub?). Then, I couldn't mount the drive, I kept getting errors. I knew it wasn't on /dev/sda1 because that was originally "/" on my old linux installation. I had /home on a separate, BIG, partition. So it was /dev/sda3 because /dev/sda2 was swap space. I struggled to find that out because I didn't know how to view partition information.

After finding fdisk -l it showed me the partitions, but NOT the filesystem types! So every time I tried to mount it, it would error out. After trying every one, it turned out I couldn't even mount /dev/sda3 by itself anyway. So I mounted /dev/sda1 (which happened to be ext3) and it in turn mounted the /dev/sda3 (which is Odd, I didn't think that would happen). And then I got everything from it.

I actually have another external drive (not an enclosure but an actual drive) that I use for backups now, and I didn't have any problems with it, because I knew the filesystem type ahead of time.

Ah well, now I know

I thought there was a technical issue? If we have a post/user/forum importer, why don't we try it out?

we had some temporary new forums up for quite a while that worked fine, all it needed was someone to run the importers.

well... WTF
