How can I mount a non-booting pfSense volume?
-
Hi Folks,
Disk failure strikes. I would like to double check my backups against the last state before the failure. I can view the disk and its partition table is valid, it just won't boot.
I would like to boot a new install and then mount the old disk. Can we do this? If yes, how as a simple "mount /dev/ad0pX" fails with unknown filesystem type.
Thanks,
Tim -
Use "-t ufs" on the mount command. You'll probably need to run "fsck -y -t ufs /dev/ad0pX" first.

@jimp say you use a second drive for logging should it be gpt and ufs what would be the newfs?
