Mounting filesystems in recovery mode

[Jeffrey Shannon]

I was wondering how to mount file systems while in the recovery mode (running a recovery shell).

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

Recovery shell from CD?
or hpux -is

You'll have to vgchange -a y vg00

(on the cd shell, look at your boot disk device files - they'll all have an s0 s1... device file.. try to mount that)

Hi,
Befor mounting file systems and changing vg you have to import command files from CD (use one of tools from recovery menu).

Hi Jeff,

If you are talking about mounting filesystem using your recovery CD, take a look at the thread below,

Hope this helps.

Hi, this is what you have to do after scaping to shell [x]:

# chroot_lvmdisk (this is a script)

# cd ROOT; chroot /ROOT /sbin/sh
# vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
# swapon /dev/vg00/lvol2 (this is default check with lvlnboot -v)
# fsck /dev/vg00/rlvol6 (if this is /usr)
# mount /dev/vg00/lvol6 /usr

and do this (fsck, mount) for all the FS you want to (/var, /tmp, ...).

When everything is done don??t shutdown, use:

# umount -a
# vgchange -a n /dev/vg00

exit and reboot from the recovery shell main menu

This is all for 11.00, in 10.20 I think the script is not chroot_lvmdisk.
