Read external filesystem?

[theetabond]

Hi Guys..

with crossmeta is it possible to read a XFS file system, i mean a
native Linux XFS FS? I have a NAS enclosure (it hsa got a USB
interface) which has formatted my HD in XFS, ik want to access that HD
contents from windows. Is is possible to do that with CrossMeta?

Thanks in advance !

hey - did you ever get that to work? i am in the EXACT same situation.
my iomega "RAID" thing (StorCenter 500) crashed - i suspect the
controller is dead. i was able to mount the drive in my XP machine,
and see 4 partitions, and Iomega support just confirmed that the drive
is in XFS.

the drive shows as da1, but attempted to mount it with the crossmeta
addons, i get

C:\Program Files\crossmeta>mount -t xfs /dev/da1 /mnt
usage: mount [-dfpruvw] [-D drive:] [-o options] [-t ufs |
external_type] special node
mount [-adfpruvw] [-t ufs | external_type]
mount [-dfpruvw] special | node

trying to mount the slice da1s4, i get the same thing.

trying to run xfs_repair on either, i get "cannot open... Permission
Denied"

below is my config. note that i was unable to figure out the security
settings in the crossmeta core setup - none of the options seemed to
make sense.

C:\Program Files\crossmeta>dmesg
