Hi there,
Apologies if this has already been posted before but I cant find it in
the archives.. Im sure it must have come up before though..
I had ydl 3 running on my imac and now due to it croaking Im trying to
read the drive over firewire. The mac OS9 partition loads up and I
"think" I can see the partition I want but cant get the mount -t to
work..
heres the pdisk output:
/dev/rdisk1 map block size=512
#: type name length base (
size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 54 @ 64
3: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 74 @ 118
4: Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 192
5: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 704
6: Apple_HFS untitled 2048000 @ 1216
(1000.0M)
7: Apple_Bootstrap untitled 20481 @ 2049216 (
10.0M)
8: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 262145 @ 2069697
(128.0M)
9: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 8388609 @ 2331842 (
4.0G)
10: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 230534269 @ 10720451
(109.9G)
number 8 is what Im intrested in so I thought I should type:
mount -t hfs /dev/disk1s8 /Volumes/OldIMac
the drive light goes orange (reading) but I get:
/sbin/mount_hfs: Invalid argument
Is that not a hfs drive? If not then what do I need to mount it?
thanks
will
