July 18, 201411 yr Is anyone booting off of a USB PCI card, especially someone using a Gigbyte EP-35SD Motherboard? It's looking like my USB controller (I presume) has gone toes up on my server. I'm about to switch from this old server to a new one, so I'd rather not buy a whole new motherboard just to get the data off my old system. I tried an old (ooooold) USB+FW card I had lying around but it didn't boot. Anyone know of a board that seems to "play nice" with USB booting?
July 18, 201411 yr Do you mean you are going to have a new unRAID server? If so, why not just move the disks from the old server to the new one?
July 18, 201411 yr If you just need the data off the drives, all you need to do is connect them to a PC (via a USB bridge or directly to ports on the PC) and use the free LinuxReader to read the data. http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
