I first installed a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy) through Berryboot on a HDD. I made some scripts in the /home/pi folder.



Now I reinstalled Raspbian on a USB stick instead, but I want to read and copy the files in /home/pi when the other disk is connected, but I can't find them. I tried mounting the disk:



sudo fdisk -l
mkdir /tmp/mount
mount /dev/sdb2 /tmp/mount



But when I list this directory, all I find is data images lost+found shared tmp.



So where are all the files that I usually see when I ls / like bin boot dev etc export home...?



At first I thought the might be on the SD card running the Pi, that I erased while reinstalled berryboot, but since I found my old home directory when I booted of the HDD, I think it seems to be hidden somewhere.



I didn't use encryption (that I know of), and I have passwords for both of the logins, even if the passwords are different.






debian mount raspberry-pi raspbian home

    Is sdb2 the correct partition to look at? Does the disk have other partitions?

    We can't really help without access to your device. The files are obviously somewhere else but we can't know where. Why did you choose sdb2? Could they be in sdb1 for instance? You say you found your old home directory when you booted off of the HDD. What HDD is that? And if you found it, isn't that the answer to your question?

  • If I boot with the HDD, sdb1 on the USB has some leftovers from what was on the USB stick before I installed it (on sdb2). If I boot from the USB, I can't mount sdb1. It says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1"

  • When booting from either USB stick or HDD, I can find my home directory for that installation, but I can't find the home for the other device, that isn't currently used for booting, but is connected and shown in fdisk -l. Are those folders supposed to be hidden?

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. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this
