Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
for my backups I use a 3TB USB drive (one big ext4 partition) without any |
| 4 |
problems. Just plug in the cable, mount it and perform the backup. The |
| 5 |
partition (sdi1) is detected an mountable without any problems: |

However, when I boot a rescue system from a USB stick, the partition on the |
| 61 |
USB is not detected. I already tried latest SystemRescueCD (default and |
| 62 |
alternate kernel), Knoppix and the Gentoo Admin CD. Nothing, the partition |
| 63 |
is not available. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
What's the difference? Why does my kernel find this partition and the other |
| 66 |
one's do not? It's pretty silly to have a backup drive and cannot access it |
| 67 |
in question ;-) |
