Failed Drive - Can't Boot! HELP! #19341286
Hi everyone, I hope someone out there can give me some guidance as I no longer have access to my data and somewhat stressed to say the least... I've got the ReadyNAS NV and it's been working fla...
Thanks for the feedback mdgm!
It was initially a 3x500GB array and then I switched it live (x-raid) to a 3x2TB array. I'm fairly certain I swapped the disks out in order starting with disk 1. I'm not sure if that would land the parity disk as disk 2 or not. So I suppose if disks 2 and 3 are actually good still it could be a hardware problem with my ReadyNAS since it still can't boot with just disks 2 and 3.
I appreciate for the tip on dd_rescue. I'll likely give it a whirl tomorrow, but I figure I should let this partition scan complete since its come this far, if only to see what else it comes up with. I go to bed now with somewhat more positive thoughts -- thanks!
