I am on SCO 5.0.4, we had a system crash and I am unable to mount the non-root filesystems. When I type in fsck -ofull I get the error: cannot stat filesystem. If I try to mount or umount I error 6. All other file systems are ok. How do I get the non-root top be recognized? Any help would be appreciated.

Mounting non-root filesystems
- Thread starter mltorres

do you know your mount devices and mount points?
did you have to reload the operating system?
should be entries in /dev for the hardware mount points and in root directory for filesystem mount points. You can do a divvy /dev/hwdevice to get a filesystem layout then use the info from there to mount the device.
when you attempt to mount it, you will get a fsck automatically if there is corruption.
mount /dev/hwdevice /mountpoint will do the mounting in single user mode. Multiuser should do the mounting as instructed (memory call here) /etc/filesystems.
