RN102 SSH, copy the iSCSI LUN from NAS to another device
Hi,
I have access the NAS via SFTP & SCP.
Where in the file structure is the actual LUN file so that I can copy it off the NAS for mounting elsewhere.
We have a iSCSI partition that will only be seen as RAW by the iSCSI connector in Windows and we need to see if it really is totally damaged,
The data\LUN folder appears to be empty.
Thanks!
Andy
Hello flattened,
The LUN file is stored at ///.iscsi/iscsi_lun_backing_store
However, if the iSCSI initiator is connecting successfully to the ReadyNAS but it is seen as RAW, then the problem is likely to be that there is corruption on the file system inside the LUN. Please see this article: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24912Regards,

Thankyou for your reply; we determined the same eventually. I've managed to take the iSCSI file from the NAS and mounted it on a Windows device to retrieve the data. The NAS has been factory reset and the data restored to it as a standard NAS share.
