I was running FreebBSD 5.x until a few days ago at home on a little
shuttle cube server with a celeron processor when my hard drive
appeared to develop multiple problems and finally died. I had a
western digital external usb hard drive attached to the server that
I used for daily backups ... The WD usb drive has a freebsd partition
on it already. I want to mount this drive so I can start to move
backed up data to the new box ...
Depending on how you plan to extract the data, you may not need
to mount it at all. dump(8) will open and read the special file
(/dev/whatever) directly.
