OK, so I've been running FreeNAS for somewhere around three years now.
The version I'm running is 0.7RC1 Sardaukar (revision 4735).
I have two internal 1.5TB drives in software RAID1. One of them is failing, so I figured if I have to tear it down, why not upgrade?
I have two 3TB drives ready to go, newest 32-bit version of FreeNAS on a flash drive ready to go, and now am moving data.
Here's the rub. I recently added a 1TB external drive to the FreeNAS box, formatted UFS, and was hoping, instead of having to copy all of that data to other drives, to be able to mount it on my Linux box and copy it from there after the "new" NAS was assembled.
I can't get the UFS drive to mount. The drive shows up when plugged in but it cannot recognize the partition. I tried creating a mountpoint and mounting it with the mount command and the ufs parameters but it gives me an error message (of which I cannot currently reproduce to post as I have the drive and NAS back up and running and am copying data off of it).
SFTA shows that Linux should have read ability for the UFS drive but it cannot seem to find a "valid" file system to mount.
At the moment, I'm trying to move data off of it to other drives on other computers, ones plugged in externally to my laptop, and some will probably end up on the (small) main laptop drive to catch the rest of it.
Is there something easy I can do to have this mount on my Linux box or should I just spend the next day moving files before I can rebuild the box?
Thanks,
-Sean
