38TB RAID5 recovery
Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2018 4:10 am
Drive shows up as RAW in windows following a failed disk. Did the full scan with r-studio.. that took a good 4 days... And I can see the partition ok, recovered a couple of files ad hoc and integrity seems good..
Now to the problem.
I don't have a 38 TB destination drive. I have a dozen 5 TB USB drives I wanted to get the data across to, but not seeing the obvious way ?
If I select the recover selected files in the UI I have no way of knowing the size of the selected files... Weeding through hundreds of folders manually seems like a sure way of achieving data loss.
Create image option seemed like an obvious one. In that option you can specify size of image files... I selected <5 TB... but no matter what I select it says not enough disk space... so I'm assuming this doesn't actually allow you to span across multiple disks... It's just if you want to create arbitrary small image sizes.
Any thoughts ?
