I have an external hard drive mounted on my server running ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Server). Whenever my system restarts I click on the icon appearing within /media/mydisk
and my external drive starts appearing in df -h
. Before clicking, my external drive does not appear. My problem is I had to reboot my system from a remote location, therefore after rebooting, my external drive does not appear within df -h
.
By mistake I ran mkfs.ext4
at the partition accessible from cat /proc/partitions
. Now i fear that my data might have got deleted. Is it true?
Also how can I access my external drive within /media/mydisk
From a remote location without requiring to open /media/mydisk
physically?
