I've got a painful lesson on MaxAttach 3000, in which one of the hard disk died recently. I have no way to revive it, because it's running FreeBSD and a proprietary version of JFS, and there's no way to download the source OS from Maxtor, even it's licensed under GPL!
Also, there's no way to copy the content out because the disk are configured in a way that even PartitionMagic 8 can't recognize it! So I don't believe in device running 'Open source/GPL' software, because there's no way you can gaurantee they'll publish their source code.
