Raid5 help
Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2008 10:04 pm
I have imaged 4 hard drives from a Snap Server 4200 that was running as a Raid5 - Guardian OS.
I do not know any other information about the structure. I am attempting to recover information from the server and I'm using R-Studio.
Questions:
1. I've had some luck recovering some files from the block size 128kb. I've opened these files and found them to be working. Is is safe to "assume" (hate this word) that I've chosen the structure and/or block size correctly? Is there a way to determine what the original structure was by viewing any of the hard drives?
2. I'm also unable to see the original file tree, but since the server was not in a working condition when I received it, I'm guessing I won't.
Newbie here, so any input would be appreciated!
