SGI Indy U64 R5000 IRIX 6.5 missing mountpoint

Hi,

I have some time to investigate my Indy with a Ultra64 board (rev2.0) installed. The system has two HDD on the SCSI bus. When i boot up the indy i got the follow message:






The Syshdd booting up fine. I checked the scsi connection, anything OK. Next step i try to remount the second drive, with no luck.
Maybe some N64 proto is on the second HDD...



Looks like the disk is still there. Maybe the second is formatted, because the data on it. Can anyone assist?

 

Your best bet might be to pull the drive, connect it to a SCSI adapter and dump/analyze the raw contents from a PC.
You can then use a few XFS tools that are available on Linux to see if you can recover some contents; on Irix there is little available for that purpose...

 

Does the directory /mountpoint actually exist ? The error looks to me like the mountpoint, not the disk, is missing...

 

Definitely a missing mount point, disk is probably fine. From a root shell, run mkdir /mountpoint.

Also, paste contents of /etc/fstab here.
