Recover from BTRFS RAID

[corigins23]

Hello all

After attempting all official methods to revive a Netgear RN-102ND NAS, I've removed the single WD 3TB Green drive to recover its data. Slaving it to a Windows PC, I open a popular program around here called Sysinternals Linux Reader for recovery. However upon attempting to open a partition for reading, a dialogue appears stating "can't open disk: Btrfs Volume 1 (0e34c953:data, raid) Check the disk and try again".

SMART attributes are good, but I am about to run a bad sector scan. Can anybody shed any light on whether this has occured to them and what they did to overcome (if at all)?

AFAIK Linux Reader doesn't support the btrfs file system.  So I don't think your problem is a bad disk.  You might need to use a linux boot CD.

Ok, cool thanks for the insight. I'm d/l OpenSuse which claims to have support. Thought Ubuntu would but no.
