File system question

I have a Stora NAS which is dead, I would now like to replace it with a ReadyNAS Duo V2. How do I transfer my data? From what I understand these products use different file systems?

  • You will need to transfer the data across the network, either from backup or by getting the Stora working again. You cannot take the disk from the Stora and install it into the ReadyNAS, although you may be able to mount it in your computer using various tools and then copy the data over the network to the new ReadyNAS.

    I'm not familiar with the Stora (it's a different product line than the ReadyNAS and not supported under these forums).
  • My Stora is really dead (RIP). The only thing I can think of is to buy another Stora (peferably used), move the date on the network, install the new ReadyNAS, and then transfer the date there. Then I end up with a Stora I don't need anymore :-(

    Thanks! This sure looks like a solution.

    Different RAID format is used. The ReadyNAS Duo/NV+ v2 uses the EXT4 filesystem. The only arrays that can be migrated to a Duo/NV+ v2 are ones created using another Duo/NV+ v2.
