No wonder users feels frustrated. This manual expects you to know basic commands and command-line shells of Linux and Windows, for example, how to view contents of a directory. Installation I tested the driver on bit Windows 7 Professional. Download and unpack 2 packages drivers and addons from the download page.

I picked the version 1. I suppose you should reboot Windows afterwards. Starting the driver Log in to Windows as Administrator. Start a command line shell. Then the disk v appears containing a mini-Unix environment. There is no documentation on its commands, and command options differ from what we have on Linux.

The disk v is the root of your Unix environment. Unix commands require paths relative to the root. Paths should be written as in Unix. If you need to see v in the Windows Explorer, restart it. You are ready for work. Troubleshooting The command dmesg shows the log. There are commands which do not show an error, so check the log when in doubt. The solution I came up with is a bit convoluted but it has some real advantages:.

This will allow you to transfer files from the guest linux to the host windows You may have to manually mount the drive in the linux guest:.

This will allow your guest OS to talk directly with the drive:. Restart the linux guest virtual machine and your XFS partition should already be mounted.

Now you can begin transfering files between your XFS partition and the shared folder on the windows host. Lots of hassle for a simple file transfer, right! But the side benefit is that now you have a fully functional linux virtual machine with a shared folder set up to the windows host. Very useful — even when you must run windows, it helps to have a linux VM standing by!

It looks like you dual boot. You might want to say that up front. I have not tried VirtualBox yet. Performance on the guest os is just fine and any loss there is more than offset by all the other benefits of virtualizing Windows such as snapshots.

I have no reason to transfer files into the XP virtual machine, wasting disk space by keeping two copies of everything. For example, Ubuntu 9. You could also simply leave a Linux guest running and sharing the files when you are booted into Windows so that you could avoid the disk copy step; that machine could be very small since all it need to do is act as a Samba file server.

Around MB to MB would work fine. No dual Boot. Just trying to read an XFS partition from windows. This particular XP machine needed these files on the local hard drive. I found a way to do and thought i should post the details in case anyone else was having the same problem.

Just curious — can you write an article explaining why to use XFS when working with large images? This article is perfect.

Thanks for the info! The NAS has a hardware issue but the drive itself is fine. Anyway, once booted, I start VirtualBox and start a machine using Ubuntu 9.

I then try to Install GuestAdditions clicked from the Ubuntu machine. When I do, nothing seems to mappen. That fails. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks for this detailed tutorial. As far as I can tell the drives inside the NAS are fine, just the front-end software took a hit. I installed Virtualbox Ubuntu and followed all the instructions above, but when I add the vmdk files to the virtual guest, I can no longer boot the Ubuntu VM, it just hangs.

Perry, great article. I used it as my base guideline for reading XFS partition from Windows. But having only dabbled in Linux, there was a bit of research necessary at some of the steps. Nonetheless, I could not have accomplished it without your article. Many kudos! Here is my take on the steps needed to accomplish the task specific to my situation XP host with Ubuntu guest.

I had rearrange the sequence and add some steps in order to get everything to work:. In linux guest — Wait for CD image to appear or mount image.

PhysicalDrive5 -register. I can only assume each drive is not a unique XFS filesystem and that large files would get striped across multiple disks…. It died, but I needed my info off of its XFS partition. I found a program that will do this easily called XFS Explorer.

It is small and installs in windows and will read many various file systems including XFS. I just opened the NAS and put the drive into a usb hard drive enclosure, connected to windows computer, and in a minute I was copying my files from the drive to my system. Sure, the program costs money but for me it was worth it to avoid the hassle of the above-mentioned process.

Hope this helps someone. But to get to the issue:. However, it does show up correctly in the windows disk managent. Is the trial version limited to internal hard disks? And: this blog entry with the virtual machine step-by-step manual is great, thank yo so much for posting it!!! Why go through all of that trouble? You can still access the local hard drive and NTFS write support has been included in Ubuntu since The data was valuable and I was not about to trust it to a process which has failed catastrophically in the past.

People should pay to a free file system?
