Software to Recover array from each Hard drive outside of Readynas system?"
Is there a recovery software that can rebuild an array from individual drives outside the Readynas system? I have a readynas NV+ V1 and the system is not booting. I have tested each drive and...
Your NV+ is using RAID-4. It is similar to RAID-5, except all the parity blocks are placed on one disk. The parity blocks are actually written to an unpartitioned section of the drive.
http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306 gives some info on how to mount an array in a standard linux system.
There are recovery packages that claim Netgear support, though I haven't used any of them - so I have no recommendations. Hopefully others will chime in.
Should this recovery either the linux or the 3rd party app be used BEFORE trying to boot up the readynas again?
Basically there are 2 hard drive which I suspect may be bad, one of them the software said it base, the software said the other hard drive is good( however it was clicking for like an hour at one part)
So both drives are suspect.
If I boot up the readynas with 3 drives and I remove the wrong drive, it could cause damage to the data if I try using the readynas to read the data or only if I replace it with a new drive ?
I wanted to ask if I should try reading the data wtih the readynas first or try to recover the data via linux/3rd party app?
Thanks.
