ReadyNAS Data Recovery - VMware recovery tool
Description This topic contains links to linux VMware images (Debian / Ubuntu) that have been modified to enable you to access your ReadyNAS duo HDDs from any machine with a USB plug and a SATA to US...
The steps for the Pro 6 are different to the steps for Sparc.
For the Pro 6 you need to do e.g.
# mdadm --assemble --scan # vgscan # vgchange -a y # mount /dev/c/c /mnt
You should check the health of the disks first and the state of the md arrays, particularly the one involving partition 3 or 5 (depending on when you last did a factory reset).
Recovering files that were not deleted should be possible.
As for deleted files that may be difficult or impossible.
The disks seems to be healthy as I'm totally able to use the NAS and to copy all the informations that were not deleted.
I think that nobody ever did a factory reset on this NAS (I've started to try to manage everything about 1 month ago).
My quest here is to find a way to bring back the file that were deleted (for exemple using foremost or any other tool).
Just for information I achieved to bring back many file (maybe all maybe not) using photorec (foremost wasn't able to bring back specific files like autocad or sketchup).
I was forced to recreate a new image because the downloaded ones were too old to allow the download of new packages (or I wasn't smart enought :smileylol:)
mdgm-ntgr thanks for your help to mount the devices, even if I wasn't able to mount the raid (only one of the 2 disks) it allowed me to natively browse the file and bring back some of them.
