Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v1 salvage operation
Short version: I have a 3TB disk with all my data, that only my old ReadyNAS can access. Right now I can't access it through the ReadyNAS either, cause unknown. I want to keep the data, and avoid a fo...
Agreed. Though its not clear it would work either. Linux Reader only works on disk-1 of the duo v1, it wouldn't work on any other 2-bay ReadyNAS. And in this case disk 1 was a 3 TB drive, which the v1 NAS would treat as a different size.

Hoffman - if you just plugged two drives in the NAS, then it would set up RAID-1 - that is the default.
The V1 NAS doesn't support 3 TB disks, it is limited to 2 TB. If you in fact have a V1 with 3 TB drives, you would have ended up with ~768 GB of space in a RAID-1 array - wasting > 2 TB of space. Linux Reader mightbe able to read disk-1 in that case, but it wouldn't read disk 2.
If you know you had a 3 TB volume before, then you either have a duo v2, an ultra-2, or a pro-2. You've already ruled out the duo v2, but the other two are still possibilities. A duo v1 would have an RND2000-100 label, the pro or ultra would have something else. There's a list of model numbers here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=59892#p336358
