Hi to all,
I am working on this NAS with 4 disk.
Disk 1 - ok
Disk 2 - ok
Disk 3 - long time no working
Disk 4 - ok
in the NAS it appear not mounted, so it can not give any volume.
The configuration have 3 partitions
1 - ext2/3
2 -
3 -
i try with winhex but could not determinate anything incluing the 1 partition Ext2/3
Anyone have worked with this NAS ?
Try to mount the disk in a Fedora Live USB , i can see that there is an array but nothing more.
Also i used the NAS with new disk and make a configuration clean and working, try to run it on the Fedora but could not acess the files ! strange..
Can this NAS be with some configuration locked from the manufacturing ?
Wating for some opinion on this, will be great,
Regards

What version and license of WinHex are you running? The Specialist license and above should do what you are looking for. Also, Raid Reconstructor from Runtime should do the job, but I don't know if they support Ext2/3.

Hi, Thanks,
Winhex 15.6 Specialized
Runtime do not work on this.
Do you have any more ideyas ?

Try UFS Explorer...
From the manufacturer spec, was it configured as RAID0,5 or JBOD? What is the default on these units according to manufacturer?
I would imaging the data partition is XFS or similar, rather than EXT on one of these, but it probably has an EXT partition also.
If in doubt, put 4 new drives in and rebuild the system, then analyse the drives...

Thanks CK,
I try also UFS, and the NAS come from factory without no disk inside ,
So i put new disk made a raid 5 copy some pictures to there
them try to rebuild with UFS and nothing also happen
Even the first partition Ext2, i can not see anything with UFS.
It looks simple, just unmounted volume.
No luck at the moment.

what are the partition type codes from the MBR? also does every drive show the partitions, or just one or two?
May 13th, 2010, 18:05
The drives show all the partition,
but the first one it show one more partition them it should be.
Also i notice that the volume of the 4 Partition is not right, because it says 1.2TB
And the original volume was 558Mb ( 4 x 200Gb Raid 5)

In your case UFS or R-Studio has to work.
UFS is much faster than R-Studio.
Message me if u can't get it.

Raid 5 configuration of this NAS can be uniq . WinHex and UFSExplorer know only typical configurations like backward Sync/Async parity and forward Sync/Async parity.
You need R-Studio and build custom matrix of your RAID configuration
For example for NAS4300 we meet something like this :
If you still need, we can help you on distance by TeamViewer.
