Hey guys, I'd like some help recovering from a corrupted software Raid-5
setup. The raid-5 setup is on an embedded linux NAS (the Buffalo Terastation
Pro, if anyone's familiar with it), so I can't really give all that many
details as to the distro, version, setup, etc. All of that is hidden and
proprietary. The tech support told me that all I can do is scrap my data,
but this is stupid... they're manufacturing a redundant data server; they
should know better and have some corruption-recovery procedure in place.
Welcome to capitalism.
If they are running Linux and distributing bunaries they have to give
you the source under GPL. That won't give you all the setup and
proprietary stuff they hang on it, or solve your immediate problem, but
useful to know. Be polite but persistent asking for source, on the
kernel and any GPL application tools.
Now, what exactly IS your problem? What isn't working to get you looking
at this in the first place.
