Subject: [gentoo-user] recovery of fstab
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:48:03 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20121211T234312-373@post.gmane.org> (raw)

Well I have a gentoo system I'm trying to recover.
I've got it booted up via systemrescue.

I do not have a copy of the fstab, so what is the best
way to discover which partitions are /boot / and so on?

(brain dead tonight)....


I guesses but the / is blank?

df <snip>
/dev/sda2             61438696  51276944  10161752  84% /mnt/gentoo/boot
/dev/sda3             61438696  51276944  10161752  84% /mnt/gentoo


/mnt/gentoo/boot is populated (mounted correctly) but the /dev/sda3
which I'm guessing is / is empty ?

Been a while since I had to recover a system so referals to good 
docs are most welcome....

No to mention an automount capability with systemrescue?

James
