Description This topic contains links to linux VMware images (Debian / Ubuntu) that have been modified to enable you to access your ReadyNAS duo HDDs from any machine with a USB plug and a SATA to US...
Using acmtn.vmw.Debian5, plugin your usb disk and once you boot and get to the welcome screen:
1/ Login using the user: vmuser (pw:vmuser1) account
2/ Run the root terminal (the red icon)
3/ Enter the commands at the start of this thread (taking note of other comments raised by people in the forum)
Edit: It will then tell you that it has been mounted but it will seem like the script has stalled but this is normal, you just need to minimise this terminal window.
4/ OPEN a second root terminal
5/ enter the following terminal commands
"cd /mnt"
"cd lvm"
"ls"
Your folders and file should be listed (if all goes well) in this terminal, you can now copy them to another HDD (usb, share etc that you have connected to the VMWare). Be aware there is a 4GB file limit on each filesize (a limitation of the ext2fuse).
