Unmounting a volume to perform backup/image
Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 7:10 pm
Hi:
Like the new forum actually. I use the Web interface - easier for me than setting jp T-bird.
Anyway I have the following setup
HD0
Part 1 BTBM
Part2 Windows
Part 3 LVM
HD1
Part 1 ubuntu Boot
Part12 Fedora Boot
Parat 3 openSUSE Boot
Part 4 extended
Trying to backup/iamge HD0 Part2 and Part 3 to HD1 Part 3 I get the error that the partiiton is in use and can't ber unmounted. TBImount reports the same.
Could it be that sytem restore is accessing it - or just what is the reason.

Similar problem arises when boot Image for DOS CD
Now here's the thing however. I can't use BTBM now - at least for a time, since Fedora 16does not allow me to install GRUB 2 to anything but the MBR. The TB prograams say that the EMBR on Drive 2 (where I want to backup) is corrupt (or something like that). Can I boot BTBM - NOT try to install it it because it will wipe out Fedora unless I can install GRUB to a separate boot partition on drive 2 - which may or may not be possible. and fix the EMBR on Drive 2 Either way I should be able to image partitions.
