NV+ boot hangs on checking FS
I have an old Sparc based ReadyNAS NV+. There was a power cut this week and the NAS went down without being shutdown cleanly. It now will not reboot. It hangs, I left it for 24+ hours on "Checking FS"...
So I put the 3 drives in that passed the smartctl tests. The ReadyNas booted up quickly without problems and reported that 0 TB free of 0 TB total. I then put the 3 disks back into the Linux box and booted up. I got errors about missing devices from pvdisplay and lvdisplay. I then shutdown, put in the 4th disk and booted the linux ox up again. I was then able to mount the volume with fuseext2 -o ro -o sync_read. I am now copying the data from the volume to my new NAS. I am copying the data in small chunks so that if/when the disk crashes I will know what else I need to restore from backup.
Once I get the data off, if the disk hasn't crashed, Is it possible to wipe the OS partitions to see if that fixes anything?
