Copy Data from Old HDD to New HDD

[azaranto]

Hi All,
Sorry for the bother but this time my old 2TB is showing a lot of errors and I´m replacing it before it dies.
I was able to install the FVDW v17 firmware but I´m having problems accessing the information from the old hdd via a HDD Docking Station.
My MAC is not detecting the partitions and it´s asking me to initialize the HDD. Win10 can´t see nothing and Ubuntu is not letting me either.
Can someone bring some light into the darkness? :please
Thank you all in advance!

Hi azaranto,

if I understand well, currently you have a running NAS with a new disk and our firmware but your old disk is not see when you plug it on the usb port (?)

If yes, please to post these outputs after plugging your old disk

Code: Select all

cat /proc/partitions
dmesg
fdisk -l
mount
file -bs /dev/sdb8

Hi

I am sorry but your outputs are not nice. It seems there is no longer a gpt partition table available on your external disk

Code: Select all

   8        8 2927364551 sda8
   8       32 1953514584 sdc
and
[  113.221005] fvdw4 diskname = sdc
[  113.228514] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] 488378646 4096-byte logical blocks: (2.00 TB/1.82 TiB)
[  113.243861] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off
[  113.248746] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 28 00 00 00

[  113.275744] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk
(You should have a line like sdc: sdc1 sdc2 ...)


So post

Code: Select all

gdisk /dev/sdc

and also if you can, its partition table (type 'p')

I will post it as soon as I can.
The weird part is that the old disk works when connected to the LACIE NAS as primary disc. I can access old the files. I´m currently using another USB Disc as proxy between the two discs and it´s taking ages :sob
That´s why I was trying to connect the old one as external USB drive.
Thank you!!!

@jocko

please remember that disk names are not as it should on d2n2 when using 4.6.6. kernel #7
It needs an adapted diskmap in the kernel to give external disk as suffix "se".
The new kernel was poste here :
viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2818&p=26621#p26605

But this should be the cause of the problem here

What I see in dmesg output is that diks sdc in dmegs output doesn't show a logical sector size of 512 bytes but 4096 bytes. That is not correct. Then it cannot be read by the OS.
It is probably an advanced format disk that uses physical sector size of 4096 bytes but it should be formatted with 512 logical sector size, normally the disk firmware should handle this. We have seen disk before with this problem
In those cases the sata->usb interface used could be the cause this problem. Some do not handle these advanced format disks correctly and show logical sector size of 4096. Connecting them directly to an sata port could be a check to find out if he usb-sata interface you use cause this problem

Yes and no
Even without the diskmap, /proc/partitions should contain the partitions found on the disk at least with the bad prefix and indeed there are some issues later but only when the firmware will try to mount the partition (but badly we are not yet at this step)

:thumbup
Indeed, this may explain the behaviour;

So azaranto should try to connect it with another USB interface.
