3 Disks failed, 2 back, still trying case # 20574298

Just a quick update, I just PUTTY the NAS for be sure that a L3 engineer should not encounter any problem connecting from the Internet to the NAS. All ready to have that elusive connection...

For my curiosity, I place a sfdisk on the unit, I got:

# sfdisk -l

Where you can see /hdc and /hde are the HDD recovered from the dark side of the force, the /hdg is the survivor original HDD and the /hdi is the brand new HDD not partitioned drive.

I understand that partitions over /hdc /hde /hdg are identical, that is for some reason giving me hope to recover data, but, no matter that I put the NAS to boot without check filesystem (as instructed by tech support) the RESYNC option is just not available over Frontview.

I wonder, Is it mandatory to have a partitioned HDD to get a RESYNC available over Frontview? I don't think so, but, I like to ask, as I feel we are close to got an answer, positive or negative.

Let's see what happens, I realy would love to know how to RESYNC over commands, but that seems to be out of my range, as a more experienced Jedi master is requested.

Cheers!
