In the other reply, you said something about GPS.
Well, location services aren’t really GPS anymore.
The phone looks at all of it’s radio environment (cell and WiFi and whatnot) and from that it calculates it’s location. GPS may help a little, too, but it’s not important.
It needs Apple’s own databases to do that: collections of all antennas in the world, and their known locations.
True, somewhat… but on the iPhone, many functions that seem like basic things are tied to Apple’s services and cannot easily replaced by selfhosted services. This phone would not work properly anymore.
Yes. Firewalls.
With an iPhone, however, you are screwed. Apple won’t let you do what you are looking for.
You say it is mounted. Then you can share it in all the same ways as you would share any other of the VM’s folders.
I am using SMB shares for that (but that is not always the best way ofc).
recover data from unfunctioned remaining RAID disks due to RAID controller failure
In this case, you need a new RAID controller of similar type.
Can I even simply attach one of the RAID 1 disk to the desktop system
No. One disk out of a RAID array is different from a normal disk.
Recovery becomes easy if you do not use a hardware RAID controller, but a ZFS software RAID instead. It does nearly all automatically. But you need to do a little more reading tutorials for the first setup.
In that case, your phone needs to “see” at least 4 satellites at the same time (more is even better) to get the first GPS lock, and that’s probably why you need to wait for so long.
It could help to walk to a spot with no buildings, trees etc.
Once there was an app called “GPS essentials” to help with that.
