Thanks - did just that -
Rescue CD - mv /media/photos to /opt/photos

And voila - files is back ;-)

/Jan J

thanks for the info

I did make the dir - r/w for all - and it worked as expected when inserting usb drives, etc--
All was seen in /media - including my /media/photo folders.

But after the "upgrade" they was gone - but the "space" is still used.

Any idea to check where the "used" space is - if the "/media/photos" is not seen how come du/df displays info as this space is STILL in use ?

Best Regards

Hi Linux / *nix experts

I have been a Linux user since redhat 4.2 - and have lately upgraded from fedora 14 to 15 - by PreUpgrade command.

All went nice and easy .... but somehome 45G is now GONE from my / partition?

Background:

Before upgrade:

I had

/
/home
swap

And on /media I had the following

/media/photos
/media/videos

After upgrade:

/
/home
swap

But my dirctories
/media/photos
/media/videos

have GONE

But the SPACE is STILL in use - (from du/df commands)

Question:

How to "mount" these dir once more - or alternativly - free up the space (would like to mount the folders once more as photos exist on these I would like to have)

Information:

Total DISK size= 160GB
