I have a disk that was used in a FreeBSD 9.0 system. It was a secondary disk for data. It had two slices I would mount as /serv1 and /serv2.
Then I would just store data on them. Its a 500 GB disk, /serv1 was 50 GB and /serv2 was 400 GB.
Thefreebsd FreeBSD system died, hardware death. In the mean time, I have an OpnBSD system here. I tried putting the HDD with /serv1 and /serv2 in the OpenBSD system to see if I could just mount those slices in OpenBSD and make the data available.
Partial success. OpenBSD sees the drive. I can use disklabel wd0 to see the disklabel. But it only shows the first /serv1 partition. It doesn't show the second /serv2 partition.
It also seems odd that the partition is listed as wd0i
I know the partitions/slices were d and e when they were in thefreebsd FreeBSD system. It's weird that it goes all the way to wd0i to use it. And then nothing else is available. disklabel shows
That's it. The serv2 partition/slice isn't there.
Which, I understand, is because of the difference in the wayfreebsd FreeBSD and OpenBSD handle partitions and slices and whatever else. Ok.
At this point, I want to try and boot the OpenBSD system, using a FreeBSD LIVE type CD, mount both partitions, and copy the data from /serv2 to /serv1. Then reboot into OpenBSD and all the data will be available since I'm able to see wd0i /serv1 and mount it. It's not a lot of data, but it's important data.
Would anyone be so kind as to recommend a LIVE type CD or DVD I could download, burn, and use to boot into afreebsd FreeBSD environment. It needs to be able to see a freebsd FreeBSD disklabel properly. And then instructions on how to then mount both of those partitions/slices, so I can move all the data from /serv2 to /serv1.
Ultimately, it would be great if there were a way for OpenBSD to see the FreeBSD partitions. But that is probably a question for the OpenBSD forums...
Or, a way for me to boot into livefreebsd FreeBSD, mount /serv1 and /serv2, AND the OpenBSD drive, and move everything over to there?
It looks like the whole FreeBSD on LiveCD lost its spark a while back.I can't find anything with current support. Does anyone know of a recent one that will work for my situation?
And then some instructions, outline, for accomplishing what I'm trying to do?
