I have some old Seagate-brand spinning rust with a NetBSD system on it. The disk does not spin up, but I am pretty sure that the content is intact, and I would like to have it for a reasonable price. Is there a service that's known to be NetBSD friendly?
Last time I checked, recovery cost about $500 USD. IIRC, you paid that regardless of whether recovery was successful. Some recovery services clearly were middlemen. You could send a disk directly to Seagate for recovery. No recovery service acknowledged the existence of BSD or FFS. I want to avoid paying a steep price to a service that scans the medium and, finding no FAT/NTFS/HFS+/APFS volume on it, declares it unrecoverable when, in actual fact, every bit is intact. Is there a service that I can trust my NetBSD disk to that has a reasonable fee structure? Dave -- David Young dyo...@pobox.com Urbana, IL (217) 721-9981
