Hello list,
I am trying to recover data from linux based NAS box wich uses sw raid.
Unfortunately i have no the box nor the original disks, only the raw copy of
the drives.
I know this is hard, but this is a challenge for me.
I know that, the original raid structure was RAID5 from 3 disks + 1 spare.
The owner tried to move the disks across the slots, now i have found only
one original superblock, but this looks like strange too for me:
/dev/sdi3:
Magic : a92b4efc
Version : 00.90.00
UUID : 9604e5ec:2c1ee6c4:39d34560:27adacf1

Failed Devices : 1
Spare Devices : 1
Checksum : 682ebe56 - correct
Events : 0.116
Layout : left-asymmetric
Chunk Size : 4K
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
this 3 33 3 3 spare
0 0 56 3 0 active sync
1 1 57 3 1 faulty
2 2 0 0 2 faulty removed
3 3 33 3 3 spare
My questions:
- If this is a spare drive, should be moved (rebuild) to the #2 no, because
the #2 failed and than removed, no?
- how can be "clean" this array?
- Is there a way to get information about the failing order or time?
(The May 10 was the fail of the nas.)
Somebody have any idea, how can this be?
Thanks,
Janos Haar
