Hello,

I am using LINUX 7.2 with 2 HDD. The first HDD is with ROOT, BOOT, VAR, ETC
and HOME. The second HDD is with HOME1, this is use for data only. The
second HDD had crashed and all my data is in the first HDD in the HOME
partition. When I boot the system is stops at kernel panic.

I have tried to use a boot disk ( Tomscbt), I can see my data. I plugged in
a second HDD, which was formatted by Windows system (FAT32). I tried to
copy the files to this second HDD and it work but the file name are being
truncated to 8 Char.

Could someone help me to copy this files successfully.

Kind regards,

Leslie

umsdos /dev/hda3 /mnt or similar)? At least the documentation says this
gives you long file names, permissions etc. Or just create an archive on
the backup hd, such as
tar cvfz /path/to/backup/hd/archive.tgz /path/to/hd/to/be/backed/up
