Hi, I have been using freenas for a while now for a data storage server but I have run in to a problem. My main drive on the server came up with an issue. When I loaded freenas the drive had a bad report on file size. I searched the forums and google for answers with several solution from upgrading freenas, changing to nas4free and upgrading the hardware. None of these solutions worked. I tried running freebsd on vmware on my windows system but that was impossible to navigate with no graphical interface and I also tried ubuntu on vmware to access the partition but still no luck. Recovery software only recovered a small amount of the data.
Is there a program I can use to access the partition. Windows disk management says the partition is healthy.
the server was a dual core 3GHz, 2Gb ram all drives were separate as ufs.
new server is a dual cor 2.2GHz, 2Gb ram.
Newer bios with the new hardware.
I am aware that freenas now requires stupid amounts of memory which is why I always stuck to the older builds while I was looking for another software to run a nas server. I have no use for 8gb ram in a home server and I dont use zfs.
I would be grateful of any help to recover the files from the drive.
Thanks Baz
