Star Review: Linux-based TVisto Series 3.5" Multimedia HDD Enclosure
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Tue 29th Nov 2005 19:41 UTC
Multimedia, AV Geeks.com sent us for a review an external hard drive enclosure case, the "TVisto Series 3.5" Multimedia HDD Enclosure" (2.5" series also available). But this is not just another hard drive enclosure, but also a multimedia jukebox. And it's running uCLinux, an embedded version of Linux.

Thanks! I installed Stephan's but still couldn't see my drives. Apparently, my ext2 partitions are in a Linux LVM partition which Windows doesn't know how to handle, so I'm back to square one. Do you any idea how to resolve this? My search on a LVM driver for Windows turned up nothing.

I'm sorry, but I think there is no software to handle Linux LVM partitions for Windows. Bad luck. You could consider to move your linux home directory to the partition where FAT32 now resides (first, format it to ext2 and make backups). Be careful.

Yeah, I've "misplaced" my user data enough times in both Windows and Linux to steer clear of any quick fixes. The safest way is probably to wait until FC5 is released, move my /home partition out of LVM, and use the FC5 installer to select the right location for the new /home mount point.
