I was at a small newspaper for several hours this evening trying to migrate all their (not backed up) data on their
Snap Server 1100. It's a NAS, and was apparently running at 10bt, with over 170gb of data to copy off to the new nas (drobo) Finder was estimating 270 hours to finish.
It had been acting up recently, and following a reboot tonight it could not be logged into (pw fail) for filesharing. Using the soft resets that should have allowed login but not erased data, the unit is now stuck in some sort of disk verify/repair loop, it won't get past 5% complete with the verify and apparently has to complete this before it will make the shares available. (the hdd may have directory problems I would have no way of fixing, or io errors that are causing it to retry re-reading a key block forever) I need to see if there's any way to access the data on the hard drive when removed from the snap server. I don't recognize the partition table - it may be entirely proprietary. (could be linux or nfs, I don't have this level of experience with either) Does anyone have experience accessing a snap server's internal hard drive directly?
