I'm new in this forum and I'm trying to recover an old nas with a dead harddisk, the NetworkSpace vs1. I've already experience with an Iomega StorCenter IX2-200, but obviously these are different and Iomega use GPT.
I've found in this forum the information on how to rewrite the system on the disk, but it don't boot with final error "Bad magic number" and write something about MBR and about location 0x40000000 (probably it don't found start image).
I think this is because the sector size of new harddisk is 4096 and not 512 bytes as shown in the tutorial, so I cannot replcate identical structure using cylinder to define the partition, but I can use only the partition size in MB.
Here is the list of command used to restore the system (booted with linux and used an USB/sata adapter for sdb):
- Code: Select all
fdisk /dev/sdb ... sdb1, sdb2, sdb3 and sdb7 tryed with +251M and +252M (no one working), sdb5 size +376M, sdb6 size +8M, and all the remaining for sdb8
dd if=xfvdw-sl-15-1-nwsp1-9feb2014.img of=/dev/sdb1
dd if=xfvdw-sl-15-1-nwsp1-9feb2014.img of=/dev/sdb2
dd if=xfvdw-sl-15-1-nwsp1-9feb2014.img of=/dev/sdb7
mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/sdb5
mkdir -pm 777 /mnt/sdb5
mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/sdb5
cp sda5-lacie-nwsp1.tar.gz /mnt/sdb5/
cd /mnt/sdb5
ls -la # lost+found sda5-lacie-nwsp1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf sda5-lacie-nwsp1.tar.gz
ls -la # etc lost+found sda5-lacie-nwsp1.tar.gz tmp usr var
chmod 777 /mnt/sdb5/etc/nas_conf_db.xml
cd -
umount /dev/sdb5
rmdir /mnt/sdb5
dd if=UIMAGE-26394-NWSP1-5 of=/dev/sdb6
mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/sdb8
mkdir -pm 777 /mnt/sdb8
mount /dev/sdb8 /mnt/sdb8
mkdir -pm 777 /mnt/sdb8/public
umount /dev/sdb8
rmdir /mnt/sdb8
Someone has already done something like what I'm trying to do with success?
Or I'm doing something wrong and is not related to sector size?
Thanks,
Sebastiano
