Amahi Hard Drives in another computer

Postby b3orion » Sat May 07, 2011 10:21 pm

Hi,
So I have my data drives in my HDA formatted as EXT4. I had to remove one to get a file off of it when my HDA was off, so I mounted it on my Ubuntu laptop... well I tried. When I went to mount it, it said something to the effect of "Access denied, you don't have the necessary permission to mount the drive". That is not the exact message, but you get the point. So, is there a special way I could mount the drive so I can access it in a computer other than my HDA?
Thanks!

The problem could be permissions on the drive. Suggest you check Ubuntu forums for assistance in mounting it. Should not be an issue, but maybe there is something you missed.

you should be able to do something like this.

sudo mkdir /mnt/[whatever]

sudo mount /dev/sd[whatever] /mnt/[whatever]

or for a better example...

sudo mkdir /mnt/drive1

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/drive1
