Hi Cooper,

Thanks for your advice.

#fdisk -l
Device      Boot   Start   End   Block        Id    System
/dev/hdc1  *        1        6       48163+     83   Linux
/dev/hdc2            7        794   6329610   83   Linux
/dev/hdc3           795     826   257040     82   Linux swap

When I tried to mount

# mount /dev/hdc2
mount:
Cannot read /etc/fstab no such file or directory

(same as /etc/hdc1 and /etc/hdc3)

Created a mount point

# mkdir /mnt/rescue
# mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/rescue
mount:  Mounting /dev/hdc2  on  /mnt/rescue  failed:Device or Resource busy

Kindly advise.  Thanks

Stephen Liu
