Title: Sl-c3000 Mount Points
Post by: Jacknife on April 13, 2005, 03:51:38 am
I just received my first Zaurus (SL-C3000) today, and I need some help fixing a tweak gone bad...  I changed the default user name from "zaurus" to "jacknife" in /etc/passwd and renamed the home directory to  match my user name.  Now the system hangs when I attempt to reboot, and will never get past the second splash screen.  I've booted the system to command-line mode, but can't seem to find where the "/etc" and "/home" directories were originally mounted from. (I looked around hda1-hda3 to no avail).  

Anyway, to make a long story shorter - could sombody please provide me with a listing of the default mount points of the SL-C3000 in PDA mode? I just want to reset my user name back to zaurus and get the system to boot normally again. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

/etc is linked from /home: /home/etc -> /etc

/home is mounted from /dev/mtdblock3 type jffs2 (rw, noatime)

/ is mounted from /dev/mtdblock2 type jffs2 (ro, noatime)

Good luck!

Thank you!!!  I was able to fix the problem. I doubt that I would have been able to find the home directory without your help, because I would have never of thought to look in the mtdblockx devices.
