Readynas 104 Volume empty after Clean-up
Hello, since some weeks my Raid-Configuration is degraded, because the primary disk (3TB) failed in my 4 bay configuration with 2x3TB and 2x4TB in total. The HDD is physicaly damaged and can't b...
Hi,
well thanks for your answers.
Finally I found a solution.
I dind't pay the 75€, because I think this won't guarantee me to get the data back. I also didn't buy any expensive programs you find with google when you search for "btrfs recovery tool".
After reading and understanding how btrfs works (this filesystem is used by Readynas in X-Raid mode) I tryied out the "btrfs restore /dev/md126 /media/USB_HDD_1" command. You just need to attach a USB harddrive to your Readynas and with the command all data (with proper folder structure) are copied to your USB harddisk (don't need to format the harddisk to btrfs or so on - just used ntfs).
That's all.
So to everyone having trouble with a corrupt filesystem - try this out. It worked for me fine. No files are damaged.
I'm not sure what's the reason for my filesystem corruption but I expect that during the clean-up btrfs function the Readynas OS killed it somehow.
Right now I try to sell the Readynas and I will never come back to Netgear (storage) products.
Cheers

Thanks for the tips Mark. I'm in the same boat I tried to expand my storage per the instructions and now all my data is lost! Like you I'll be moving away from Netgear storage products
