how to find which partion has the grub file or os image

Post by knzzz » 2017/08/09 06:27:26

Hi Team,

When ever the mbr got corrupted we will be installing it using grub-install /dev/sda in the rescue mode but how to ensure that mbr is in /dev/sda after switching to rescue mode

Regards

Code: Select all

file -s <device>
may give you the information you need, where <device> is /dev/sda or perhaps the partition (for example /dev/sda1)

If you are looking for specific files, you should be able to mount each partition in rescue mode and examine the files present.
