[SOLVED] After a firmware upgrade, blinking blue, lost 5Big2

[Glaven Clattuck]

I found a post on nas central giving the output of the kernel at startup, it seems the output you got is not abnormal, however it should not stop with md1 reconstruction ..it should continue http://forum.nas-central.org/viewtopic. ... 479#p90905

Anyhow are you ready with making backups ?

Hi,

I have about 13TB of data, certainly not all important, but in any case I don't want to lose them. From last night to this morning I recovered about 3TB, the problem now is to find other HD on which to pour the other data.

I will take a look at the post that you pointed. But i would try the "wipe" and "format" way.
So do you help me?

Instructions to wipe sdx9 (assume you assembled it as md2)

Code: Select all

mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/md2

Before formating it could be wise to copy the content and send it to your pc
Assume you have mounted /dev/md2 on /md2

Code: Select all

cd /md2
tar -czvf sdx9.tgz ./


after finishing making the archive

Code: Select all

tftp -l sdx9.tgz -r sdx9.tgz -p ip-pc

(replace ip-pc by actual ip of your pc)

if that doesn't work you could do the same for sdx8 and sdx7
However for these you need to re-install the files, in the arcive you find my backups for these partitions including the kernel on sdx6. Think installing the kernel is not needed as it seems to load ok when looking to your neteconsole output.

PS before formatting the raid arrays you need to dismount them, probably it will warn you if they are not unmounted

To install the files on sdx8 and sdx7 you need to copy them from tftp server to the nas in the folder were you mounted the arrays and extra them using the command

Code: Select all

tar -xzvf file-name

Instructions to wipe sdx9 (assume you assembled it as md2)

Code: Select all

mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/md2

Sorry i try to back-up the content of md2, but does not make me move some files..

for the command, indicated above, this is the response:

Code: Select all

root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/md2
mke2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
/dev/md2 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!


[fvdw]

unmount it

Code: Select all

umount /md2

[fvdw]

to umount you must in root of the file system

Code: Select all

cd /

I'm still waiting for it to finish creating archive, i try again after send the archive at my pc.
