I am looking for some help in trying to recover a raid 5 volume. Is this the right place? What data should I provide to get the ball rolling? The back story is its 4 x 6tb drives in raid 5. Was created on a WD EX4 NAS box. The NAS reported 2 simultaneous drive failures on wake up from standby mode. On reboot both drives appear fine. No SMART errors etc but the raid 5 volume is gone. It's the second time the NAS box has lost data like this. Previous time it was a mix of 2 and 3 tb drives with a 6 tb raid 5 and a 1 tb mirror. mdadm on the nas is from 2006 (don't have the exact version to hand). I was thinking to put the drives into a PC, boot to a recent distro on usb stick and see if I can recover the data there. Then setup it up more or less permanently (and ditch the NAS). Not sure of the best way to proceed. I'd be really grateful for any assistance or guidance.
