Re-post from Stack Overflow

My PC on Debian (Jessie) doesn't work well any more and I only have the command line interface (and only can connect with root). I would like to copy my data on my external hard drive (I know I should have done backups before but I made a slip up when doing it) but I don't manage to do it.

First, my PC seems not to detect it (or a usb key - NTFS), then I did these commands for now:



# cd /
# find . -name "exthd"
./dev/disk/by-label/exthd
./media/username/exthd
# cp -R dataFile /media/username/exthd
# chown -R username /media/username/exthd


But when I do an ls -l on /media/username/exthd there is only the files I copied while there are 3 other files, and when my exthd isn't connected I still find it in /media/username with the data I copied in (that's why I think actually my exthd isn't detected). And when I connect exthd on my other PC (on win10) there aren't my copied data (that's why I tested to make a chown).

NB: I already used exthd on this PC.



[Results of commands]

To resume.
fdisk -l:

- /dev/sda1 => EFI System

- /dev/sda2 => Linux filesystem

- /dev/sda3 => Linux swap

- /dev/sdb1 => HPFS/NTFS/exFAT.

I'm using a usb key right now because I don't have exthd near me, I found its name only in ./dev/disk/by-label/myusbname (find command), and it seems to be sdb1, same capacity in fdisk -l and same name in blkid.

  • Can you just mount your drive with mount /dev/sdb1 /media/username/exthd/ then content of the external drive will be displayed, but previous folder content will be hidden until to umount to drive.

I made following commands (without the results):



# cd /
# fdisk -l
# blkid
# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/username/exthd
# cp -R /home/username/Documents /media/username/exthd
# umount /media/username/exthd


/dev/sdb1: my external hard disk as found thanks to fdisk and blkid commands.
/media/username/exthd: where I want to mount my disk.
/home/username/Documents: the folder of data I want to copy.



It worked, I recovered my data.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
