The ZyXel NAS unit I had a while ago used Linux (ext3 I think), and the
disks could be accessed by a Linux system (or with DiskInternals Linux
Reader on Windows).
Fingers crossed it is the NAS and not the disk.

I had a Lacie single disk (500gb) nas but for the last few days I have
not been able to contact it. I have rebooted it several time via
turning it on and off but that made no difference, there is a blue
light that come on and occasionally flickers (which is normal). I have
tried to access via Linux and Windows, windows has Lacie disk manager
program but that claims there are no disks.
I have done an ipscan and can account for all the IP's addresses
listed, none of the Nas, (both window and linux picked it up by device
name and I cant remember the IP address I set it to). My main question
is what file system do those device normally run. I was thinking about
removing the hard disk and putting it in a USB disk reader and
hopefully recovering some or all of my data (making the assumption
that it is the Motherboard as such that had died and not the disk).
I do have a backup but not a current one, in my defence the USB hard
disk I was backing up to died and I have been saving to buy a new nas
(as I am currently using 400gb of the 500gb nas disk) and a new usb
hard disk to back it up to.
Any suggestion or comment appreciated, except those that extract the
urine ;)
