I believe that the package on mandriva is called "dmsetup". Anyhow, even if that's wrong you should try the following commands:
ls /dev/mapper/ (existence of this directory is a good sign for disk-mapper existence) dmsetup deps (the output of this command should show you the major and minor number of the devices "enacpsulated" by it) On 4/4/07, Shlomo Solomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'll try that later, but I'm not optimistic since I don't have lvm or device-mapper installed (unless, of course they have different names in Mandriva.

I booted from a Mandriva 2007 installation disk and chose rescue mode. In that mode, there's an option to mount all partitions and it worked perfectly for all 3 disks (including /dev/sdc). -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail (KDE 3.5.4) on LINUX Mandriva 2007 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
