I'm working on organizing my NAS. I installed a 2T drive, formatted it, everything works great. I had a Buffalo EZStation LS-L500GS which the case stopped receiving an IP address. I pulled the drive which is formatted in XFS format. I have all my backups on this drive, I hook it up to a machine and LiveCD boot Ubuntu 11.10(not installed) and it finds it great. All the folder structures and files are there.
Now when I insert it into the 320, under Disk Management it shows up as Volume 2. When I try to create a Network Share

I hook it back up to the Ubuntu machine and all that isn't there. What's going on here? Can it not read XFS, or do I just back it up and reformat it?

The only format the the NAS knows is ext2 and ext3, also for the drive to be recognised it has to be formatted by the NAS.
You should make a backup of your data on the drive, then format it with the NAS and copy your data back.

It's very likely that the DNS-320 formatted your XFS drive. It's happened to me as well, just plugging a drive back in in the wrong slot.
There is a small possibility that an XFS recovery software can find those files, very slow (days).
