Pretty much what the title says; had a RAID-1 array in a NAS, pulled (and replaced) one of the physical drives, lost the array (much later; unrelated), trying to recover data from the pulled drive. Filesystem is CIFS, NAS doesn't recognise it, can't seem to mount it in Windows or Linux... Help?

Thanks.

hmm..
there is no CIFS filesystem. CIFS is a network sharing protocol that you can use with any filesystem.
Depending on your NAS, your filesystem can be btrfs, ext4, hfs, ntfs or zfs

You are correct; my mistake... Was stressed, excuses, excuses, it's an old Seagate BlackArmor 400 and some of the knowledgebase articles I was reading refer to NFS and CIFS as file systems :)

Regardless, I can see the disk and the partitions, but not the filesystem.
 
Thanks, everyone. Already been looking around for solutions; just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious.
