RAID 5 recovery

May 22nd, 2011, 13:26

Hi, we have a problem with NAS SEAGATE BlackArmor 440. The problem is that RAID 5 has failed, for some reason. Anyway, we are trying to restore the data from the RAID with application R-Studio but we have problem to identify the RAID, as we don't know the parameters of the RAID. Virtual Block RAID is created but we are missing those informations. Could you help us with this. Thank you very much.

@terryn,

FYI, the correct name is DR-Kiev. He has lots of RAID-related experience.

No problem - I didn't know whether you'd be logging-on again tonight to see the question, so thought I'd better reply to the OP :)

Take a look at sector № 3906831831 ( for 6Tb full capacity NAS).
It is contains technical metadata. Compare this sector in all drives , and you will see drives order . ;)
Anyway, if you will be in trouble with array, send me PM.
