Restoring data from drives onto OSX?
My nv+ recently caught fire (viewtopic.php?f=20&t=56086) while I was able
to save the drives - the vendor tools all passed when hooked up via USB to a windows box - I now face the dilemma
that I have restore the data somehow. I've already tried to put the drives into another NV+, didn't work.
Here's my setup, I had two 250GB Seagate drives in my NV+, it was a pretty straightforward X-Raid setup, with 3 shares
When I hookup the first drive with my OSX box it recognizes the drive. With disk utility I get the following
- 250 GB ST325...
- disk3s1
- LinuxSwap
- disk3s5
Is there anyway I can restore the data onto the OSX box?

- You could try using a virtual machine running Linux. Have a read of Mounting Sparc-based ReadyNAS Drives in x86-based Linux (including the comments).
- thanks for the tip, it actually worked very well. I already had Ubuntu running in VirtualBox, just had to open the USB ports and now I can mount the
NV disk inside linux .
