Accessing the HDD once removed from ReadyNAS Duo v1
Hello, I have a quick question I couldn't find in your FAQ.
I have removed a single 2TB drive from the ReadyNAS Duo v1, and replaced it with two other drives, I'm looking to find out how to read the data on this drive, as I've added it to an enclosure and it won't mount on Mint 14, so I need to know which file system the drive is using (I assumed it was EXT3) and I need to figure out the fastes way to get this data back onto the NAS on my new drives.
I have access to a couple of Linux machines and a couple of Windows machines so I can try a variety of ways to do this.
Thank you for your help.

Sounds like it's a Linux formatted disk then, do you know if it would be read natively on a Linux distro? I guess my other question is do you know why it can't be mounted via enclosure on Mint?- Mint would have to have LVM support. And Fuse for loading16k page file system. Sparc uses 16k, x86 uses 4k. I'd give that WIndows utility a try with the disk connected via USB.
- I'll give that a go, my enclosure is a RAID based one though, and so far it refuses to reconize the drive at all on Linux. I'll try it via Windows, before connecting the disk directly, as it would save me that little bit of time.
I'll post again with an update.
