Re: Mounting ext4

[Sagar Acharya <sagaracharya%tutanota.com@localhost>]

If I have an external ext2 partition, how to mount it? I'm having a hard time figuring what file in /dev/ to mount?

Docs show using sfdisk but sfdisk command is not found. pkgsrc or pkgin search also yield no such package.

fdisk works.

Thanking you
