 |
|
Well my saga of trying to install Gentoo with EVMS continues. My problem is I can't mount non-EVMS partitions, every time I try to I get this:
| Code: |
Lucy root # mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/gentoo
mount: /dev/hdb3 already mounted or /mnt/gentoo busy
Lucy root # umount /mnt/gentoo
umount: /mnt/gentoo: not mounted
Lucy root # umount /dev/hdb3
umount: /dev/hdb3: not mounted
|
At this point EVMS is running but I haven't even gone thru setting up the hard drive I going to use with it. The hard drive hdb is not in my fstab. I'm also following the directions here. So how do I mount non-EVMS partitions when EVMS is running? |

Here ya go:
| Code: |
Lucy root # mount
/dev/hda7 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
|
hda7 is my root partition on my current Gentoo install. I installed a barebones Gentoo on my first hard drive and then put EVMS on it so I could make EVMS partitions on my second(my main) Gentoo install onto my hdb drive. |

| Well I fixed it. Once I realized that with EVMS even my non-EVMS partitions move from /dev/hdX to /dev/evms/hdX things started falling into place. |
