Problem with raid failed
Hello,
I would like to ask about your support. I have a Netgear Ready Nas Duo v1 and adter few power fails in the house where i live, the Ready Nas dissapeared. Than i restarted only the settings and the nas appeared in raidar but it want to setup new raid system (not loading the old one) which means that it failed somehow. Before the power fails, NAS was in X-Raid with two 3TB disks. I'm really afraid of loosing information. Is there any way to see what's going on with the disks before seting up new raid because i think that it should erase the information. Is it a good idea to connect one of the hdd to pc and try to save the information. I would appreciate your advice. Thank you!

- If you were using 3 TB drives then you must have a v2 (not a v1). Can you confirm that using this guide? http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how ... -or-nv-v2/
- 100% sure is V1... First it's 5 years old than there is a firmware update to use 3tb hard-drives... anyway...
i have another question... if i take the hdd and put it on a normal pc shall i see a ext3 ot ext2 or any other linux filesystem full with data or shoudn't see anything? - 100% sure that v1 products are limited to 2 TB internal drives, and are not capable of using bigger drives. You might have an ultra-2 or pro-2, but you can't be using a duo v1 with GPT formatted drives.
What firmware are you running?
To your second question - you'd see ext3 or possibly ext4, depending on what model you actually have and what firmware it is running. Which means that a normal PC running windows would see file systems they don't recognize.
