RAID5 recovery from a dead ReadyNAS
Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2021 9:57 am
The ReadyNas failed after an extended power outage. It is not responsive at all.
It had 4 drives, and all 4 drives pass SMART tests and seem to function (no obvious clicking or strange noise).
I have them all connected to a windows box with R-Studio 8.17
I believe I have the Virtual Block RAID parent page configured correctly, as it shows 3 mdadm Protective Partitions plus some free space under it in the Device/Disk list. The free space is basically the size of 1 of the disks.
A scan for partitions cause a bunch more to appear, however, looking at the files on any them show partial files.
I'm not sure what is going on.
