Hey= Guys, I have 4 large (120- 200 Gig) hard drives= that were used in my 5.1 server. The server died and I'm no longer using= FreeBSD. Any idea how I can get the data off these drives? - Convert UFS to any other mountable and= readable format XP, Linux or OS X? If so, where? I thought maybe Ghost, but= it will only allow sector copies, which are not readable by Ghost= Explorer... - Mount these drives in VMWare FreeBSD 5.1= session via USB 2.0? If so, how can I do this? Is there a simple automount= app that will scan and mount available partitions in Gnome or KDE? I'm able= to see the da0 device show up in the terminal when I plug in the device,= but how can I tell what the partitioning scheme is? And how can I mount= them? - If I re-install 5.1 on a spare box, I'm= still stuck with dealing with how to view the partitions of these hard= drives and mounting them appropriately... Maybe I'm going about this all wrong... If= I throw a previously partitioned hd in a FreeBSD 5.1 box, is there an easy= way to mount and view the data on it? Can I tell what type of formatting= was used? It will be either UFS or NTFS... Thanks Joe
