using ubuntu usb stick to launch - any limitation

The only limitation is that there is a maximum of 4Gb persistence for changes (set when you put the ISO onto the USB stick). Otherwise the OS is identical.

Can you ping the NHS?

Haha too funny

NAS. Not NHS. Damn autocomplete

What do you mean by nhs? I am trying to mount a 1tb xfs hard drive which
used to be a nas device.

I am not trying to mount it as a nasty device as the hard drive is having problem with it. So I decided to make it a usbit external hard drive and try to mount via Ubuntu to recover the data if possible. The issue is it's not detecting it.

Nas device not nasty

OK. What is the output of:

sudo parted -l; mount

Thanks

It shows 3 disks and none of them is the one i am looking for. After it shows a bunch of sysfs, proc.....cgroup....tmpfs, gvfsd.

I asked for the output, not a description... I know what sort of thing it outputs. U need the details from your system.

Here is the output:

Seems to be using HFS. This is a garbag proprietary Apple format. Did you use the NAS with Apple systems?

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Needs information' state without activity for the last 15 days.

No it was a nas device by iomega brand. That means Ubuntu will not be able to detect hfs, it might work for Apple os then correct?

Where do you tell which format it's using?
