One suggestion would be to find out empirically. Assuming the LF-7300
is SCSI, and the guy from the mailing list has a slight bit of computer
savvy, he could trying connecting the drive to a Linux system with SCSI.
Linux's fdisk program recognizes a lot of different partition types; it
also supports a very large number of filesystem formats. I'd use fdisk
to attempt to determine the fs type from the partition table. From
there I'd be inclined to try mounting the filesystem. As a paranoid
precaution, use a non-critical disk for the investigation.
