May 4, 201511 yr Does anyone recommend any windows 7/8 based tools that allow you to read BTRFS, XFS, etc files directly off an unRAID server drive?
July 10, 201510 yr Hey Jeffrey, Check out Disk Internal's Linux Reader http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ This is what I use when I want to read an XFS formatted drive on windows. It also works with: Ext2 /Ext3/ Ext4, ReiserFS, Reiser4, HFS, HFS+, FAT, exFAT, NTFS, ReFS and UFS2 formatted drives. vsixtyfour
November 19, 201510 yr Heya, sorry to revive an old topic here, but I'm in a situation where I need to read my XFS disk and I've got Linux Reader installed, but the log is stating 'File system is not supported' when I try to mount it...
January 29, 201610 yr Agreed, same issue here and Linux reader did not work Virtualbox with a linux livecd is one way to do it. Another would be to boot the windows machine with a live linux distro and copy the files from the xfs volume to the windows ntfs volume that way.
January 29, 201610 yr live linux distro and copy the files from the xfs volume to the windows ntfs volume that way. This is what I have always done.... not the neatest solution but at least it always works.
