Hi,
some time ago, my MyBookLiveDuo didn't response anymore. I tried
serveral actions mentioned at WD but they where not successful. Thus I
took the drive apart, and shared with other things.
Meanwhile I set up a laptop with ubuntu and started to become familier
with linux. As I knew, that the basic system on WD MyBookLiveDuo is also
linux, I thought perhaps I could read the drives of the MBLD.
I own an usb- based double tray drive (SALCAR), took off the drive from
MBLD, placed them into this double tray, and connected the usb to the
ubuntu system.
Following raid.wiki.kernel.org/.../Asking_for_help page I received the
answers in request.txt attached.
It seems quite okay for my low level raid knowledge. The only thing I
noticed is that one drive has a corrupt setup date fro 1970 compared to
the other files date from 2011.
My question(s) are:
- can I get the data from the files directly via this usb double tray
drive, and how this will be done
- or have I to repair the raid-system, and put the two files back to the
MBLD.
Would be fine if someone could have a look into the file attached.
Thanks in advance,
Rudolf
given that it comes up with both md2 and md3 reporting 2 active, and
working, devices, and /proc/mdstat looking good, I'd just try mounting
the two arrays and seeing if they work!
THEN JUST GET THE DATA OFF.
All being well, it's just a faulty cage. But sticking WD Greens in a
raid? That's not recommended!
The worst case is WD's trying to fix things might have re-initialised
the array.
See if you can mount the array, and take it from there.
(Note your tray is USB, try to minimise i/o - I know I know copying off
the drives will hammer it - because usb and raid don't like each other)
Cheers,
Wol
