Disaster Strikes! Advice requested!
I have an NV+ that has failed in a way that I have not seen. If I try to power it up, I see that the 2nd and 4th disk status LEDs are not lit. The power LED blinks a few times and then goes out, then ...
there is no way to recover from 2 disk failures other than reset with working disks, there is simply insuffucient data remaining on the 2 good disks to rebuild the 2 new disks.
if somehow you can get 1 of the bad disks working (meaning you have 3 original disks booting), you could theoretically add 1 new disk, let it resync get the array redundant again, then replace the other paritially/failed disk and let it resync.
else, you are pretty much screwed and learning the hard lesson that raid is not a substitute for backups (meaning multiple copies of your data, preferrably on different devices in different locations).
