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.

    There is difference between detected and mounted. Please show us output of following commands: fdisk -l and 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.

            Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
