Here we go again...power loss!
Here we go again...power loss!
Hi,
after...like the 100th power loss to Bubba2 I got the regular blinking blue. The rescue usb stick has never worked for me and I´m getting tired of constantly loosing my files. So I put my bubba HDD in a external HDD drive and plugged it to my networked Popcorn Hour. I am now able to browse it from my PC with WIN7. But where the heck are all the files? The "home" directory is empty and all other folders are full of all kinds of crap BUT the files I´m looking for. Where are they, I can´t even find the storage folder?
Thanks!

Re: Here we go again...power loss!
It's on an lvm volume so I doubt your Popcorn Hour will be able to read it. Your best bet is to plug it into a Linux box (use a live CD if you don't have one) and mount it from there.
Out of interest, why do you keep losing power?

Re: Here we go again...power loss!
Thanks, this has bothered me for a long time so I´m happy to know why!
Any tip what kind of easy linux based OS to use, boot from USB or CD!?
As for your question. The power loss is due to and old house and bad power plugs!

Hi.
I dont know if the Popcorn Hour has LVM suport but you can allways use your PC instead.
Boot the PC with SystemRescueCd.
Restart LVM
Activate the VolumeGroup‐Name
Create mount point.
Mount bubba's home dir.
Voila there is your files.

mkdir /mnt/bubba

mount /dev/mapper/bubba-storage /mnt/bubba
Re: Here we go again...power loss!
Sounds like it should work! I will do it a try and see how it goes.
Great idea, thanks.

Re: Here we go again...power loss!
I've never used SystemRescueCD but even something like an Ubuntu live CD should do the trick.
Re: Here we go again...power loss!
This did actually work and I found the files as described. But then I'm lost once more since I could'nt find my other HDD's I would like to copy the files to. This whole lot is very confusing when i'm not used to Linux stuff.jallee wrote:Hi.

How should I do the same operation with "the Ubuntu Live CD". I tried it too and Ubuntu made more sense to me. But how do I mount
