Rescue Mode

Our rescue disk is available to *nix based server customers. If needed, you may request from support that your server be booted with a rescue disk.

Things you Should know

• This is a debian Etch variation of linux.
• Your filesystems are not mounted by default, you will need to do this.
• Some partition types are not supported in this rescue disk. In this case you will need to use your native rescue.

Mounting Your Filesystem

You can simply mount your filesystem by running the following:

mount /dev/XdY /mnt

• Where X is your hard drive type, (usually h for ide and s for scsii and SATA)
• Where Y is the partition number.
  • Please know your partition type and map before requesting the rescue disk.

Chrooting to your Native Userland

You may chroot into your userland if you need to test programs of yours.

• This can not be a solution for bringing your system back up it will not run on rescue.

After mounting your filesystems:

chroot /mnt

This will bring you to your userland's / (root) directory.
