My goflex died and I just got it back to where i can ssh into it. The drive has several errors (because I didn't know what the heck i was doing)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 243201.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
')
So, I have ssh access, and I have serial to usb. I can mount large partition and browse files but when i tried to copy from SFTP or copy directly to a attached usb stick, the speed was incredibly slow. I left a 5g single file copying to the usb for a few hours (rsync) and it didn't get through half the file. probably not helped by the cylinder issue.
Is there a way to copy from the drive through the serial connection? Any other suggestions?
I just want to get my photos and videos off before I reformat everything.
