I appear to have lost the whole of my home directory on my centos server (which includes all my mail saved from the last 7 years). Although I have recent backups of most data I would like to copy important files from /etc, and, if possible, /var/logs so that I can try to find out what went wrong. However, knoppix refuses to let me write to either my usb hdd or usb pendrive. Does anyone know how to persuade it?
Thanks
Anne

Thanks, both of you. I'll follow that up if necessary. At present I'm in CentOS Rescue mode. It looks as though all my files are there, but I'm still trying to find out what went wrong and the best way to tackle it.
I'll start a new thread.
