The first one is a crashed factory firmware, with 5 x2Tb disks in RAID5, one of which is faulty.
I am perfectly able to run a standalone kernel (using the console), copy mdadm and assemble the array, see the files and even tftpd files to the machine I'm using to boot from.
However tftpd is slow and I'd like to use the second Lacie 5Big as the destination.
I am not proficient with unix terminal, but I was able to find that tar could be a fast and clean method to accomplish my task:
tar cpf - /some/important/data | ssh user@destination-machine "tar xpf - -C /some/directory/"
However, and this is where my question comes in, I lack ssh to connect to the second Lacie 5Big.
So how do I add a ssh daemon to the standalone instance? I presume it would be much like I did for mdadm, but I was able to find that on the forum.
Could you guys please steer me in the right direction?
PS:
The second Lacie 5Big has the fvdw-sl firmware.
Thinking of it, I understand I have 3 options:
1. copy from the standalone kernel boot to the second Lacie using tftpd, tar, rsync or scp, but I first neet a way to access the second Lacie from the first
2. mount a NFS share from the second Lacie to the first and use cp or tar to do the copying
3. start a service on the standalone kernel (like samba, nfs, ftp) and access it from the second Lacie to do the copying.
I chose 1, as it seemed simpler. Any other input is really appreciated.
Many thanks
