i'm using this on macos x. the problem is that nothing will mount it. i 
was hoping that someone knew a way to tell it what kind of node structure 
to use so i could force it to mount. and then hope i could get what i want 
off it.

it's basically a big incoming directory. mostly, the data isn't important.
  but, there are some recent pictures i took with my digital camera that 
only exist there.

the sad thing is i was about to reformat it and put a new os on there 
later that day.

:(
