I have been trying to use the F7 that I copied to the new Hard Drive
but instead I'm getting very strange results. With just the new Hard
Drive mounted I set up Grub and changed grub.conf so the proper root was
showing. But it would not boot and the error was file system not good.
So DD copy must have ruined the file system I put on.
So back to the Old Hard Drive and it has some weird stuff going. I
wanted to fix the /dev/sdb5 file system and here is what happend:
[root@k5di ~]# fsck /dev/sdb5
fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
/dev/sdb5 is mounted.
WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.
Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes
f7: recovering journal
f7: clean, 174545/10246368 files, 3132553/10239421 blocks
[root@k5di ~]# mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb5 /mnt
mount: /dev/sdb5 already mounted or /mnt busy
The last 2 lines say that /dev/sdb5 is mounted to this Old Hard Drive
somehow. I did not do this. /etc/fsack did not do this. So not sure what
is going on. And last the /etc/grub.conf has been changed by something
to the wrong on this computer. Weird!
