hi all,

i have a maxtor 300 gb shared storage device with a
network port and web based interface for its admin.
the device is no longer able to connect to network due
to some hardware problem. 
Now i want to connect the hard drive of the device to
my linux box and recover the data in it. 
Can any one suggest how to mount the hdd (i dont know
about the file system it is using)and get the data
back.

1. fdisk -l would tell you the available partitions if any on the hard disk.
2. file -s <partition> would tell you which filesystem it is
3. Since the hardware had a crash - it is recommended you do a fsck on the 
filesystem unless it is a Windows partition
4. Mount should be able to automatically mount all known filesystem without 
specifying it on the command line - if it doesnt work and item 2 & 3 worked 
them pass the parameter -t <filesystem type> to the mount command.
