OS6 Data Recovery - How to Mount BTRFS Volumes
I recently purchased a ReadyNAS 314 and 5 Seagate ST2000VN000 hard disks (one as a cold spare). I work as a system administrator, so I've been reading up on OS6 before I entrust this new system with m...
To begin with, I'd like to say that you are not paranoid, you just try to prevent problems before they even have a chance to happen, that's pretty uncommon (most of the time it's already too late) and that's a good thing that you do not do this while your data is at risk.
As stated, you will have hardware replacement for the duration of the warranty (5years) and may be able to buy spare parts at a cost for some time after.
You would also be able to be assisted as I think the 314 has a 24/7 lifetime assistance : http://www.netgear.com/about/press-rele ... ranty.aspx
If that's not enough, you would still be able to recover from secondary and tertiary backups. Although not ideal as it may take time to recover from tapes or off-site backup having three backups failing at the same time is pretty rare and will give you time to find a solution. The more you wait, the more BTRFS gets close to get full support in every linux distribution and recovery tool, so your actual problems may solve themselves with some time. I think Fedora was one of the first to be able to use BTRFS as a root filesystem, maybe you would have better out of the box support with it as it is known to be less conservative than Debian.
