Recovering Data from a ReadyNAS NV+
Hello,
Tried for weeks to get my NAS to boot, it gets stuck doing either disk check at 20% or during the "booting" phase on the LCD.
ReadyNAS NV+ with four 2TB hard drives, I believe in X-RAID mode.
Trying to just grab my data off the drives, here's what I've found:
1. Recovery programs that can rebuild RAID 5 cannot rebuild the array, assuming because it's X-RAID (not sure, I didn't setup the NAS).
2. I can see my filesystem when I browse with EXFS data recovery sotware. I can see the Linux file system, and then the FAT partition which has the data.
3. The data is in these weird 580MB files, with extensions like .061 and .0$0.
4. I'm copying the data off now to see if they are compressed archives that I can decompress using WInRAR or something, but I'm not hopeful.
Given that I can access the drives, any other good way to go about grabbing the data? I was going to R Tools software, but started to run it and was going to take awhile, and figured it'd give me the same file systems my current recovery software gives me, so didn't go that route.
Seems my problem is how to turn the .0$0 files into usable data.
THANKS!

- Is this a NV+ v1?: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
If so, you could take a look at e.g. http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306
Have you been in contact with support on this issue? If so, do you have a case number?
Note that when the NAS gets stuck doing a check on boot, you can try to skip the check (there is a boot menu option for this). If you do skip the check you should open a support case and if you are able to open Frontview and download your logs attach your logs zip file to your case.
