Data recovery nightmare
Ok so I'm usually a pretty level-headed guy but this has me sweating - hope someone can help... QUESTION: If ReadyNas has somehow over-written (MBR?) root folder structure of logical volume, and...

What you are looking at is the 4GB OS partition.
You will need to install mdadm and lvm2 if they are not already on your system# apt-get install mdadm # apt-get install lvm2
If you have not already you need to start the RAID
# mdadm --assemble --scan
We use LVM on legacy ReadyNAS so you need to do
# vgscan # vgchange -a y
Then you should be able to mount the volume
# mount /dev/c/c /mnt
where /mnt is the mountpoint (could be anything, needs to be an empty directory).
On ubuntu you would need to put sudo at the start of these commands, I think.

Many thanks for the reply!
I should have mentioned I have already installed MDADM.
I can read the partition properly, but the c folder is empty.
By doing the vgscan and vgchange and then the mount will this allow me to view contents of c folder?
