Shared directory on USB install?

<< < (2/3) > >>

phiphu2002:
Bellow is my configuration:
+ virtual machine runs on VirtualBox, host machine is Ubuntu desktop 9.10
+ two partitions, of a USB flash, are add to the virtual machine as two hard drives
+ tinycore3.0 is installed on the first patition of the USB flash
+ bood loader is syslinux
Here is the result:
+ vitual machine can boot from tinycore
+ virtual machine can see two partitions of the USB (/dev/hda and /dev/hdb)
+ output of "showbootcodes" is "initrd=/boot/tinycore.gz quiet waitusb=5 tce=hdb1 opt=hdb1 BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage"

Questions:
+ Is it possible to use second partition of the USB for Persistent Repository and Backup?
+ If it is possible? How to use?

Thanks for you help

Please help me!

After the system bootup, using "fdisk -l" shows that there are 02 disks on machine, /dev/hda (with root fs), and /dev/hdb.
I can mount /dev/hdb and use that disk. However, adding "tce=hdb retore=hdb" to the boot code makes system hang at boot "Invalid device hdb". The same result happens when using UUDI instead of "hdb".
Can you help?

You need to use partitions, not drives for tce and restore options.

Event using partition /dev/hdb1, TCL bootup is still hang.
Another strange thing is "mount -t vfat /dev/hdb /mnt/hdc" is ok. But "mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1/hdc" returns "Invalid option".
