Here's a PM I've sent to Dekkit earlier today. As Dekkit commented in his response PM it might be helpfull to update this thread with the question and his answer :)
Here goes!
Hello Dekkit,
I hope you don't mind me dropping a question in your PM box. If you do then please mark this message as to be deleted .
Ok so I've been working with some different ReadyNAS system for the past couple of weeks and wondered if data from the disks could be recovered if the NAS breaks down. The Google search lead me to this forum and especially to your post "ReadyNAS Data Recovery - VMware recovery tool" (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=35153). I've been reading and testing a lot of the options the last couple of days and first all of let me thank you for the great post you've made. It's been a superb help so far!
I am, however, stuck on a rather silly issue. I've managed to get the Ubuntu distribution (_vito Ubuntu release) running and after some testing I've been also able to load and access the NAS-disks. Copying files from the NAS-disks from Ubunto to Windows also works to a certain extend. Apparently I'm unable to copy big (4.4GB) Symantec System Recovery image files from the NAS-disks to the Ubuntu OS. For some reason Ubuntu sees these files as 500MB big while on the NAS they show as 4.4GB.
I've been reading the forum/Google searches/your post several times now but I simply can't figure out how to make Ubuntu see these bigger files. Do you know of any way for this work?
Currently I'm also downloading the Debian distribution (acmtn Debian release) to see if It's able to work with bigger files. However, your comment in the post says "tested ok, reports are that it works fine except for files greater than 4GB)" so I guess that won't work either.
Also, I noticed you've also made your custom Debian distribution (dekkit Debian release). Does that OS maybe support the bigger files?
I'm currently downloading the distribution but for some reason it's very slow and takes me almost two days to download them. That's also a reason why I'm dropping you this PM, thought I'd ask about your experiences before testing those two other distributions.
Again, thanks for the post. It's greatly appreciated!
Hoping your willing to answer to this PM.
Sincerely,
Andy
