Looking for R-Studio RAID Parameters for NV+
Does anyone know the correct RAID parameters for a ReadyNAS NV+? I am trying to do data recovery using R-Studio.
I was told in a previous thread that NV+ uses RAID 4. However, there are still a few other fields.
Block order for: Right Parity or Left Parity (default is on Right Parity)
Number of Rows: (default is set to 1)
Block Size: (default is set to 64 KB)

R-studio should be detecting them automatically. Are you saying that isn't working?

They said the autodetect feature only works for RAID 5 and 6. I ran it anyways just to check and it got to about 43% and just sat there for over a day.

There is also a free utility from ReclaiMe that might be able to figure it out. http://www.freeraidrecovery.com/
Though R-Studio support really ought to know this, since there product has been used to recover files from legacy ReadyNAS.

That is a bad sign. Have you tried running the long disk test using vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate, Lifeguard for Western Digital)?
