Lacie 5Big2 Failed After Firmware Update

[fvdw]

I know but I include already a version of mke2fs that supports that

you can use the command

Code: Select all

mke2fs-64

Its a static compiled full version of mke2fs

[unlucky1]

Uh oh.

And will this 3Tb drive back up all 5 Tb disks? I think I had under 3Tb of data but just wondering...

[fvdw]

@fvdw: mdev should be able to do it. It does in the Lacie initrd. And else a simple script parsing /proc/partitions can do.

mdev is in the busybox binary but it doesn't seem to do the job for updating, need to llok to this later,
now I need to go for an hour or two (family business :mrgreen: )

[unlucky1]

Okay, I'll catch you later then. I need to pick up my daughter from her friend's house and will be back soon. I'll keep checking back to see if you say anything.

 mke2fs-64 -j /dev/sef1

And if it will fit? Who knows.

making an ext3 file system on a partition you do like this

Code: Select all

mke2fs-64 -j -m 1 /dev/sef1

Okay, started converting the USB drive. I'll let you know when it's done!

[unlucky1]

It seems to be nearly done. What's my next move for when it finishes? How do I back up the data to it in a meaningful way? Thanks!!
