Hi People.I have my readynas running with a 2TB disk and a 1½ TB disk, the 2 TB disk stop working (but was able to make clone of it after a new weeks of hard work)but i got a new disk and plugged it in and everything is working fine.But my Questing is, is it possible to put a other new 2TB in with the clone i did of the broken disk ?Will that work? or will it simple fuck up the raid ?

well i have 3½ TB, (there are 2 options for raid layout on the readynas duo v1) and i toke the one where you get all the GB.

You can't insert the 2 TB clone in place of the second disk (the 1.5 TB one). For one thing, the two disks have completely different contents.One drawback of your configuration is that if either drive fails you loose the entire array. If you ever do another factory reset you might consider creating two separate volumes (C for one drive, D for the other). Then the drives are independent, so a failure only kills half your data.

@StephenRight now there are C and D drive (just like before) when the old C drive died (the old 2TB) i simple just replaced it with a new.But my Questing is: Is it possible to put other 2TB insted of the 2TB (there are in the readynas now) with clone from the first 2TB (the one who died)?

So you have 2 Raid-0 volumes (C and D)?Why do you want to put in the cloned drive (replacing the existing one that is working nicely?)

Windows can't read the disk unless you get special tools - it doesn't support the ext filesystem that linux uses, It is normal for there to be multiple partitions.

If the data is available on the NAS, then the next step is to backup the files - either over the network to your Windows system, or to a USB drive connected to the NAS. If you choose the USB drive connected to the NAS, make sure it is formatted as NTFS, so you can read the backup on Windows.

well in the computer management you can see the disk, with 3 partitions, (ofc you cant use it anyway in windows) but do you know a software for it ?

Yes i know i should back it up, but the problem is that i only show partition 1 when i connect it with usb/sata to the nas.

So my problem is, i cant see the data, i can only see a partition with around 500 MB spaced used.

anything else i can try before i need to plug it in to the nas ? because im scared of fucking up the raid/and so on. :P
