Hi Guys,
I have a FreeNas 0.7.2 with a Software RAID 5 which crushed.
I am trying to recover the data using R-STUDIO 6.1 but i need few parameters to handle that.
What are the default parameters of the Software RAID 5 UFS(default on FreeNas)?
i know that the strip size is 128K but i don't know the rest, like
What is the parity direction, left or right, and dynamic or standard?
Start RAID header on start of disk, end of disk etc.

Would love to get these parameters if someone have them.

Cheers,
Oded

thx loki, i already tried this software, but it doesn't recognize it properly, it thinks that it is a 4 disk RAID while it has 3.
I'll keep playing with it to try and get something.

Cheers,
Oded

Thanks Luke, i really appreciate your offer.
I managed to resolve that. I changed the drives order where they were connected to the sata ports.
Reclaim managed to analyse it and gave me the right parameters.
I fed them into UFS Explorer and got 99% of the data.
Thx for the help.
