Though I take your point, there is a risk that the attempt to fix something yourself will do more damage.

I am completely aware of this, although I'm not sure how much more damage can be done to a blank hard drive.

That wasn't clear when you made your earlier complaint. (At least I interpreted the reply as a complaint).

Not sure how you got that idea. I am simply asking for help in mounting a volume in a Debian instance.

Post back with your tools and the results - there will certainly be other users who will be needing to use undelete in the future.

Absolutely. That is my opinion of how community forums should work.

when you say the NAS was "hacked" do you mean that someone simply deleted the data once they penetrated the firewall? (e.g., the NAS shares were public).

That is the case. It was my own fault really. My Firewall/router failed so I replaced with a simple router whilst I fixed the issue. As all my important devices have their own security I wasn't really worried but I didn't think about my NAS. It was open with public access and without the firewall, was open to the outside.

Is there any evidence that the hacker might have had access to the OS partition via ssh? If there's any hint that might have happened, I again suggest that you zero the drives and rebuild the NAS from scratch once you are done with data recovery.

None that I have seen (although I wouldn't know how to look for it) but nothing critical will go on it until it has been factory reset. And my firewall is back in place and there is a backup firewall on standby.
