Strip size question
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2009 8:32 pm
Hey everyone
A quick question:
I have had very mixed results when trying to recover my Raid 5 so i have a few questions to help narrowing my options. Im pretty sure i know the answers, but i want to be sure.
1: If i set the stripe size wrong, R-studio will NEVER be able to recover a file correctly unless the file i smaller that the stripe size? Right?
2: If a file is larger than the stripe size it will NEVER recover correctly unless the drive order and block order is correct? Right?
If the above is correct can i use it to conclude the following:
1: I have set stripe to 128Kb and have successfully recovered a picture with size of 180kb -> Stripe is definetly 128kb AND at least 2 disks are in the correct order (for the selected block order) or have i completely misunderstood something?
2: With stripe still 128Kb i have recovered a picture of size 300Kb corretly -> Stripe is still correct AND at least 3 disks are in the correct order (for the selected block order)
Regards
Thornton.
