I am in need of relocating some data from an XFS drive to a windows based file system, preferably ntfs since there is a lot of data. The XFS drive was in a NAS device and went down. I can view the data using an Insert cd but can't write to the NTFS drive. I tried to use the ftp client built into it but for some reason I can't see the XFS drive for some reason. I can move the data to a fat32 drive but it takes forever and might have locked up. I'm looking for a more efficent way of doing this. Thanks in advance.

Data migration from xfs to ntfs/fat32

Support for write-to-NTFS is very weak at the moment: it supports overwriting a file of exact same name and size, and even then you might break NTFS. So, don't do it.
Go for FAT32; split the data to several smaller partitions if you can/need to.
For copying, I recommend using those flags:
-v, --verbose = verbose, show what file is being copied
-g, --progress =show a progress bar if operation is going to take a long time
-Haben sie fosforos?
-No tiengo caballero, but I have un briquet.
