DATA Access without firmware

[mathosone]

Hello

Following a wrong FIRMWARE update on my Lacie CloudBox (White box 2TB), I have no access to anything.

I can not find how to reinstall the original FirmWare: when I try the explanations of the support with LNA, it always ends with red LED. The disk seems OK and the network part also, only a firmware problem I think.

I see you have developed an alternative FIRMWARE, but if I install, what happens to the DATA always on my CloudBox?

I can not recover these DATA: the disk that I have disassembled from the box is divided into multiple partitions (8).

The DATA are included under a "Raid LINUX partition" and when I try to mount it under UBUNTU I receive "unknown filesystem type linux_raid_member "...

Thank you in advance for any help :hail

Hi mathosone,

as a new partition table is required, you will lose your data.

The DATA are included under a "Raid LINUX partition" and when I try to mount it under UBUNTU I receive "unknown filesystem type linux_raid_member "...

indeed, the data are stored on a raid1 device with only one disk !!! with the original firmware. You need to assemble the raid before mounting it.

So with your Ubuntu PC, do in a terminal window

Code: Select all

sudo mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sdbx

Where sdbx is your data partition and I assume that md0 is not already used.

Then mount md0 (and not sdbx) and you should be able to backup your data.

Thank you very much Jocko,

Indeed I used this method and I have found my data but in a very very strange location....

/shares/1/data/Recovery/Family/Recovery/Family/Recovery/Family/Recovery/Family/.....Recovery/Family/

26 sub directories Recovery/Family....before the real data

The copy of my data is running: it's the most important!

After that, I'l see how to install your firmware.
