ReadyNAS NV+ v2 XRAID 2 Recovery
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2014 5:08 pm
I am trying to recover the data off of my NAS unit, but have not been successful to this point. It appears that I screwed something up when replacing a disk that failed and somehow erased the volume data so I can't get to anything via the RAID.
I powered down the unit last night and pulled each of the drives (labeling each 1-4) so I could mount them in my PC. I tried to use R-Studio by setting it to Raid 5, but all it returned after 6+ hours of scanning was a bunch of partial files so I am assuming I didn't have the raid parameters set correctly? When I say
"partial files", the directory tree wasn't recovered and each of the files only were small chunks as opposed to the entire video file or image, etc.
I then used ReclaiMe, to try and determine the Raid parameters. During it's initial scan it reported that drive 2 was "empty". This was the replacement drive that I inserted into the array after the original failed. ReclaiMe stated that it would try to rebuild the array using Parity Checking? I let it run overnight starting at midnight, but appeared to freeze as it didn't make any progress from 2am to 8am when I checked on it.
Can anyone assist regarding what to do next? I have read great things about R-Studio and am hopeful that it will save my butt!!
Thanks in advance
