mounting old system drive in Documents
by scramasax from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CX4S)
I had an Ubuntu system that was working well since 4 years but after some recent update I slowly lost part of the system where the video lower its resolution, booting to new version was not working and sound was lost. I tried to solve the problem but after some days the system was not booting anymore. I bought a new SSD drive and install a new version of Fedora on it. The old hard disk is still on the system.
What is the best way to make that drive available as a data drive mounted in Documents? I want to keep the home directory and settings of software I installed to copy those settings to the new system and delete things I won't use like /var and reorganize things slowly. Right now I only succeed to mount it as read only
-It is 4 TB with 3 partition where only the LVM2 partition interest me to mount. It was a one disk lvm
-SMART indicate the disk is fine
-FSCK indicate there is not problem on it
-A lot of the files are owned by root so I will need to replace all the permission to delete those files
