Hey guys by mistake I’ve deleted my root partition, now I’m trying to recover my data which is located in /home/user I was able to mount my home partition to /home by executing mount /dev/sdf10 /home
and I was able to mount my external by executing mount /dev/sda1 /media
The problem is I can not copy anything to it, it says “operation not permitted” I’ve tried the following
mount -o rw /dev/sda1 /media
mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /media
I’ve even tried -t with vfat, ntfs, fat32
and also
chmod 777 /media
I get no errors while trying this but as soon as I try to copy or touch a file in the directory it denies me.
Any Ideas, thanks in advance
This is it I’ve left out the starting and ending cylinders and the blocks
Device boot system
/dev/sdf1 hpfs/ntfs
/dev/sdf2 * w95 extd LBA
/dev/sdf5 linux
/dev/sdf6 linux
/dev/sdf7 linux
/dev/sdf8 linux
/dev/sdf9 linux swap/solaris
/dev/sdf10 linux
also correction it was the boot partition I deleted not the root.
Hey ah7013 Thanks for responding actually I just figured it out, and you are in the right path: /dev/sda1 is ntfs and that was the problem ntfs would mount as a read only. In order to have rw I had to do:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sda1 /media
ntfs-3g is the FUSE read/write driver… thanks man appreciate the help
