Data Recovery and Disk Utilities Forum @R-TT

How was it formatted before than your format event?

Was it HFS+ (apple)? Or something else (e.g. some Linux or Windows)

Edited

Kindly begin describing the scenario
- Version of R-Studio you are using
- RAID type
- NAS or Server/SAN with HW RAID controller
- Number of drives
- the parameters you have found and set so far

Thank you

Thank you for the update

I'm glad they were not urgent data, for a company waiting so long for a powersupply to get again access to the data,

would have been a big damage

The hot-spare could be a slight issue if it ever has been activated in the past.

But that's not a big deal, you'll easy locate it with R-Studio HEX viewer.

Hi DataMedics

Macnugget explained that the issue is the power supply, dead.

A common failure with LaCie 5 Big.

Yes, where I talk about possible issues with the filesystem, I mean exactly that.

R-Studio allows to check SMART status

It It worth to give it a check.

If drives are healthy, the only issue could be the filesystem

If you don't find folders and files names, here we can help.

Hello!

The drives can be quite weared / old

So the issue mostly may have been caused by the drives age.

Check out our twitter for some pictures of LaCie Big recovered by us http://www.twitter.com/recuperodatiVR

The key point is to save the single drives cloning them with proper hardware devices ...

Sorry

But hopefully accidentally, your post' last phrase, written as it is, looks more an ad for a third party software.

For correctness, I would kindly suggest you to edit the last phrase and write a more generic

"Another software have a generic version for linux.."

Kind regards

These are mdadm issues

For those issues I suggest you to ask on http://www.linuxquestions.org/

I always got good hints in there
