Mounting Sparc-based ReadyNAS Drives in x86-based Linux
By dbott | October 17, 2009
Update – Thanks to Peter Schlesinger in the comments section below:
Simple step by step guide to mounting Sparc-based ReadyNAS Drives in x86-based Linux:
Tested on brand new install of Ubuntu 10.10 (32bit x86), no other dependencies- 23rd Jan 2011
In a terminal window:
(1) sudo su
(2) apt-get install fuseext2
(3) apt-get install lvm2
(4) modprobe fuse
(5) vgscan
(6) vgchange -ay c
(7) fuseext2 -o ro -o sync_read /dev/c/c /mnt
That’s it!!!
You can now see the mounted files in the /mnt directory
(NB: Without the “-o sync_read” option to fuseext2 I had problems with copying large files. 
It kept saying the source file wasn’t found. After adding this option everything worked fine).
