Hello!
I'm trying to create a contingency plan to failure of a NSS4000. I wonder how to view information stored Storage disks on a PC running Linux (or Windows) where the power supply of the equipment is broken so we can continue to operate until replacement equipment arrives
Best regards

I would try to help you, but I don't believe I am understanding correctly what you are trying to do. Can you try to re-phrase it more clearly?

Dear bfeeny:
First and foremost, thank you for responding and your interest in my post and I apologize for my bad English, but my native language is Spanish
The idea of my contingency plan is in case of failure of the Storage (eg broken power supply), mount the disks on a PC running Linux, so as to display the information and be shared by SAMBA decreasing and the time outside the information service
My current configuration of the NAS includes two 500GB hard drives in RAID1 (mirror)
Reading the documentation of NSS4000 i notice that the file system used is XFS. When mounting one of the disks in the PC (using the mount command and using the XFS tools to form a Linux RAID1) is not possible to display the information ... If I wanted to format the disk and use it for something else I think is possible, but the idea is to recover the information that was stored on the NAS.
I believe that the problem of not seeing the information is for create a share on the NAS, first i must create the RAID and then a "Volume" and using linux i don't know how to set up the "Volume" so i can't view the shares and their contents in Linux.
From already thank you very much
Regards
