I have an Asus WL700ge router with built in HD that was using ReiserFS. Attached to it was a USB HD which through the router software was formated Reiserfs and acted as a software Raid1 mirror.
The router itself has failed and I am trying to mount either of my drives, the base unit or the mirror to Ubuntu.
They are seen as SCSI drives for some odd reason and wont mount.
Heres what I have accomplished:
installed asus hd in ubuntu box as slave, it reads as:
-------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/sdb: 164.6 GB, 164696555520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 20023 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
-------------------------------------------------
fdisk /dev/sdb says Unable to open??
when I tried fdisk/dev/sdb it says "Permission Denied", this I couldnt get past the first step of making a backup of the first 512 bytes.
I also have a USB drive that was acting as a raid mirror.
When attempted each drive type and letter it just says, Unable to Open.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Chris
