you can use the /media or /mnt folders already existing on the system:
mount /dev/evms/lvm2/system/sys_linux (or whatever your evms volume is) /mnt
— should work

Tom, I agree with Daniel. My SLES 10 throughs the same ‘write protected’ error when I try to mkdir.

Booting from CD into rescue mode runs a small but complete system inside memory, including the root filesystem. The “mkdir -p /old” creates a highly volatile mountpoint. Nevertheless, you can mount real storage to it.

Thanks for your advice.

However, I’m a bit puzzled.
If i boot with a CD to rescue mode and enter bash,
how can i run the command “mkdir -p /old”?
In my case, SuSE prompts something like “write protected”

Thanks in advance.
