I ran the fdisk -l
command to show me all the disks and partitions. Here's the output:

Currently my mounted partitions are /dev/sdb1
and /dev/sdb2
. I have some data on the partition /dev/sda2
that I'd like to access. How can i mount this temporarily so that I can access it? Running mount /dev/sda2
gives me an error saying mount: can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
.
/dev/sdb2
is a container partition, which is unlikely to be mounted./dev/sda2
is a container partition too, and will not have "data that I'd like to access", that being the province of one of the contained partitions.
