Re: raid0 recovery help
Hi,
I took screen shots of everything that I could. I tried double clicking on those green "recognized2" and "recognized 3" that you see here:
But it gave me an error.. I believe it said something about not recognizing the file system... Is there another way I should be doing this?

Re: raid0 recovery help
Well, I need some time to think this problem over.

Re: raid0 recovery help
Any further thoughts on this?
The fact that I cannot even view files on a working 300gb x 3 raid 0 volume, indicates that I have no chance in determining what is wrong with my non-working 1tb x3 raid 0.

Re: raid0 recovery help
Do you have any ideas about this? I really would like to get the data off of these drives.............Alt wrote:Well, I need some time to think this problem over.

Re: raid0 recovery help
Well, after a great many months, I decided to give this recovery project another try...
So I downloaded the lastest r-studio software... Plugged in my 3x 1TB drives, and suddenly... IT MOUNTED!!!!!!
I was so happy thinking.. I can access the files... So I reached for the most important file, and dragged it to my internal hard drive, and got the error:
"The operation can't be completed because the item is in use".
... So, I launched R-Studio...
And as soon as I did that, one of the 1TB drives light lit up, and began making all kinds of disk access sounds... And I got the spinning color wheel... and I waited, and waited and waited, and it was apparent that R-Studio was never going to actually come up. So I quit the application...
I continued to look through the contents of my drive, the directory structure seems to mostly all be there.. I can click on .jpg images, and the finder window shows a preview of the image... Yet double clicking on the image file, resulted in Preview launching, but nothing showing up...
So, lastly I ran disk utility... Selected the mounted drive.. clicked "repair" and it says 'cannot be repaired because the disk cannot be unmounted'"...
I then clicked "verify" and it says:
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume
Invalid B-Tree node size
The volume could not be verified completely.
This disk needs to be repaired, click repair disk.
Error: could not unmount disk.
...........
So that's my situation.. The drive mounted... R-Studio won't launch because it's getting stuck trying to read from the raid...
If you could please give me some advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Re: raid0 recovery help
Looks like one of the disks has a hardware problem. Maybe, it's a good idea to create images of those drives and then work with them.

Re: raid0 recovery help
These are 1TB drives, so disk images are going to be huge... Is there any negative side to making the disk images with the compressed option for my purposes? Or do you recommend I do it uncompressed?

Re: raid0 recovery help
You can easily compress the images. There'll be no serious slow downs.
