Hello

What has happen?

Are all the drives fine?

RAID 6 requires to study on the drives' HEX content.

It was comprised of 13 3Tb drives and the RAID card will see the RAID but not the virtual disk. I have tried several cards and have surmised that the firmware got corrupted and it will not see the virtual drive anymore. I believe all the data is on the disks still. I am making images of all the drives, how many images can you mount in R-Studio? Thanks

The problem will not be the drives/images amount

As stated above, you'll have to study the singles drives contents

Though 13 will be handled.

Which nation are you typing from?

United states, do you by chance have a guide that you could share on how to do this?

No, sorry :-)

That's our knowledge and job, though it is not the first time that from USA we get through FedEx storages from the USA, I think it is because of our flat and really competitive fees (read my signature) that are based on job execution queues timings.

The only way are Alt and or his R-TT colleagues.

Well Robert, thanks for nothing I guess. I was looking for help here and not being strung along to end up hearing "That's what I do, send it to me and I will do it for profit". I've been in this business myself for several years and I'm sure I will figure it out, I have before. Then I will post it here for FREE for all to learn from. I purchase several licenses of R-Studio and if I cant figure it out I'm sure one of my colleagues will. And please don't PM me with your services and fee's, they were not asked for or are required, thanks. Good luck to you.

Hello
Take it easy, I'm a poster here not part of the R-TT that is why I wrote above

read above please

that for this question on RAID 6 you have to wait for R-TT's Mr. Alt and his colleagues.

As simple poster, for matters of simply democracy, I'm free to write anything that is not offensive and coherent with the arguments.

Just some added info for the R-TT staff, when I place the images into the virtual RAID and hit auto detect, it goes to 10.81MB processed and just hangs every time. Thanks for any assistance. :)

If you are in the DR environment you should know that with a raid 6 of an hardware RAID, it won't find any parameter.

You'd better calculate from single drives with HEX editor.
