jeffreywhunter Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Does anyone recommend any windows 7/8 based tools that allow you to read BTRFS, XFS, etc files directly off an unRAID server drive? Quote Link to comment
vsixtyfour Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment
Kyrin Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 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... Quote Link to comment
icedragonslair Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Agreed, same issue here and Linux reader did not work Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment
Chris Pollard Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment
