My linkstation doesnt find drives so i try take those drives out and put my workstation but knoppix didnt find filesystem. Is there some kind of program how i can access those drives if drive is slave on my workstation.

   The file system is XFS.  The best option if you have already taken the drives out would be to look into a program called UFS explorer. 

It really depends on the unit, and what RAID mode you were using. Please post the model number and RAID mode. UFS Explorer is a nice software for RAID recovery, but as far as I know, it only supports Windows.

 

If you have a LS Pro Duo in RAID 1, the filesystem flag is not XFS because it's part of a raid. Since RAID 1 is mirrored disks, each drive will have a full XFS filesystem.

 

• When mounting a single disk from a raid array (RAID1) in aLinux machine, you must specify the filesystem type as XFS. If youdon't, it won't mount:

root@linuxmachine:~# mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/data
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'

• Specify XFS as the filesystem type with the -t switch:

root@linuxmachine:~# mount -t xfs /dev/sdb4 /mnt/data
root@linuxmachine:~# ls /mnt/data

   Thanks for post. Disk are in raid 1 and station is link station pro duo. I am maybe the worst linux user so i try with those instructions. That station doesnt regonize disk so can i put those drives in same model different case so i dont lose data?? In normal mobo its easy.
