Help with my NAS HDD inaccessible partition
August 20th, 2019, 19:38
Hey guys! Thanks God I found this forum!
I have an old Iomega NAS (Home Media Network HD) that for some reason I can't access anymore via the regular access page (even after factory reset the configuration wizard is not working).
I have lots of data stored there. When I access via network I can see the folders, but I cannot access because it requires an authentication (that I don't recall and I also can't re-configure using the wizard as stated). So I've followed some instructions to open the Iomega and connect the HDD to my computer directly (via SATA-USB cable).
Now I can see the HDD in both my Mac or Raspberry with Ubuntu. But I can only see this. There is one DATA PARTITION that I cannot access. And also cannot mount this unit. I've run StellarDataRecovery in the Full HDD and no error was reported. But the unit still does not mount.
Can someone PLEASE help with some instructions on how can I access these data? I just need to get this out and move to another drive. I dont know if I can partition or repair this HDD in somehow that I can access this.
As you can see in the image, this is how the HDD show up on my Disk Utility (Mac).

I have one of these Iomega Home Media NAS devices in my case history log.
This NAS is managed via Linux Software RAID aka mdadm.
From my notes on this model the 1TB drive has two Linux RAID partitions. The first is 20GB. The second (the data partition) has a size of 911.48GB. Each partition contains a Logical Volume. Activating the Logical Volume on the data partition produces a Linux XFS filesystem.
Remote RAID/NAS recovery is my specialty. If you still need help let me know. If the drive is healthy this should be a fairly easy recovery.
