ReadyNAS Duo V1 - Boot Problem
I have a problem with my NAS. I have a ReadyNAS Duo v1 with 2 disk with capacity 2TB and RAID system. After weekend disk don't start - RAIDar said: "System booting", blue LED flash and nothing...
After removed all disk, server started OK and RAID'a said "no disk".
The next step is to test the disks. The best approach is to connect the to a windows PC (either with SATA or a USB/SATA adapter/dock). Then test them with vendor tools - Seatools for Seagate; Lifeguard for Western Digital.
Don't reformat or initialize the disks with Windows. It won't recognize the format, but the vendor tools will find the disks anyway.
If you don't have an up to date backup, you can offload the data by installing r-linux for windows on the PC. http://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/ It will only see the data files on one of the two disks (almost always disk 1).
Unfortunately link http://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/ don't work.
If i connect one of disk to Linux, it is possible to copy my data ?
Were you using X-RAID?
If you were using Flex-RAID, what volumes had you created and which RAID level were they using?

It does now (there was a space at the end of the URL).

That is also possible, but r-linux for windows is more convenient. mdgm-ntgr's question matters here- I am assuming XRAID.
After connected drive to Linux, system found lvm partition, but when i mounted them to direcotry, they give I/O errors.
Disk 2 is OK, but there is no visible partition on it.
Is it possible to do something about it ?
