It seems that SnapOS uses a modified UFS. See http://www.dtidata.com/resourcecenter/category/file-systems-explained/snap-server-file-systems/
I quote: "SNAP Appliance used a proprietary Unix File System (UFS) handler in order to run there Network Attached Storage (NAS) product. This particular OS ran a Berkley Software Distribution (BSD) flavor of UFS. Although there are many similarities to the original file system, there are also enough changes to make file recovery extremely difficult." So you could try putting it in a FreeBSD box, use dd to make an image of the whole disk, and experiment on that image. But maybe you should contact dtidata. They seem to know a lot about this appliance. Alternatively, does the web interface provide a means to run a fsck? That might be the best solution.
