Anybody good at disk stuff in linux? I'm trying to copy files off an old DVR drive, home movies, all linux mint says about it is: dev/sdb1: PARTUUID="c2073486-01"

When I try to mount it nothing happens, fdisk says type is: FreeBSD

@bangskij FreeBSD filesystems are typically ZFS or UFS. I'm pretty sure Linux would call a ZFS just that, and the FreeBSD installer defaults to UFS in guided installations, so I'd try to mount it as a UFS partition first. (I've forgotten too much Linux to suggest how, sadly.)

@bangskij Oops. I missed that it's an old DVR drive. That makes it likely it's FreeNAS and whatever it uses. I'm not finding straight answers about which of the two it typically uses.
