Read TNAS formatted drives with Linux PC

Post by Meeni »

Hi all,

Obviously RAID protects against disk failures, but what protects me from the NAS box failure itself? Thus the ability for reading the drives in another computer is critical to remove another 'one point of failure' threat.

Is there a good documentation of how to read drives formatted with TOS/TNAS in a run-of-the mill Linux PC? In particular, RAID1, and RAID10 BTRFS volumes. If I understand correctly, TNAS uses mdadm/btrf, thus it should in principle be possible?
