Understanding the use of Virtual Raid
Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2021 10:20 pm
I have a Synology 1815+ that went down. It was configured as Raid5, SHR, with 8 x 4Tb WD Reds. All drives are good.
I have setup a Win10/PC with 8 sata inputs using a PCI card and powered the drives from a second source.
When I run R-studio all 8 drives are seen and properly identified.(along with the C drive and dvd on the PC).
I created a virtual raid and added the 8 drives. I am now running a scan (2 days 11 hours to complete).
What I want to do is see the directories again in R-Studio and copy the files off the NAS drives.
Am I doing the right thing?
I did this as the vrt-mdadm-Diskstation2 virtual volume listed when I started the system up showed only a 14Gb size whereas my virtual raid shows the proper 26Tb. I thought the -Diskstation2 volume was supposed to be my raid but its too small so i created the virtual raid. probably dont fully understand the -Diskstation2 identification.
Any help/comments much appreciated while i wait for the scan to end in 58 or so hours.
