Mounting ReadyNas Duo hardrive in Linux
Hi
First, I previously wrote a message about the subject yesterday, but it was deleted without warning(?). Let me know if I did something wrong.
My problem is that I have done something stupid, i.e. deleted a share which have/had a lot of my files stored. I quickly noticed my error and shut the system down (I didn't know if pulling the power would make it worse, so I didn't). The disk (2TB seagate) is still showing full, but it's content is not accessible.
I am then trying to mount the drive using a USB to SATA converter connected to a Raspberry Pi running Debian Linux (fully updated).
How do I proceed to mount the drive? Do I need to use "mdadm"? The drive shows up as "Linux raid" (but isn't used in a RAID configuration with another drive.
I have read other posts about the same topic, but they mainly focus on "real" RAID setups.
"Fdisk -l" produces:

Which Duo did you have?
The Duo v1 (runs RAIDiator 4) or the Duo v2 (runs RAIDiator 5.3.x)?
The Duo v2 used mdadm RAID.Looks like you have the v2 from that output I think.
You could do e.g.# mdadm -E /dev/sda1
That should confirm that it has mdadm RAID on it.
Then if that comes up fine you could try it for the data volume partition /dev/sda3
We use lvm2 on top of mdadm RAID on the v2 for the data volume.
Hi
The Readynas has the P/N "RND2150 v2" and currently running RAIDiator v4.1.14.
How do I proceed from here?

Despite the "v2" in the P/N, you have a v1 NAS. Here's some more info on product identification: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/

I don't know how to deal with the checksum issues. There is a general guide here that might be useful: http://jim-st.blogspot.com/2012/07/mouning-readynas-drives-on-x86-systems.html Normally I'd send you to http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306, but that appears to be down at the moment.
