[raid0] HFS filesystem: Am I doing things correctly?
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:29 am
Dear community,
I received two drives coming from a WD external bay, which was connected to an iMac as extra storage. The iMac (I think) partitioned the striped volume as raid0 HFS. Both drives are still accessible, although slow, as they both have multiple bad sectors. I now try to see which files I can still recover but due to my lack of success I am starting to have some doubts if I am doing things right.
First thing I did is to build-in both disks in my Windows desktop and leave them untouched. I fired up r-studio and I see both drives, one with a volume, the other one without (no idea if this is to be expected?) My second step was to Create Virtual Block RAID & autodetect, to which I added both drives (I did not touch the configuration and trust r-studio knows what it is doing, is that ok?): My 3rd step was to run a scan of the entire disk (I did not scan for partitions first, is that a mistake or not a problem?) for File System "HFS": (resuming in next post due 3 attachments limit)
