Lacie 5Big2 Failed After Firmware Update

[Mijzelf]

Yes.

Hm. My message should have at least 5 characters. So I could say 'Maybe'. But that's cruel. So let's say 'Positive'.

I'm doing something wrong?

[Mijzelf]

What does gdisk say about the partition table of /dev/sdb?

[unlucky1]

Just got an e-mail from Lacie support telling me how to re-install the OS "if data isn't important". Really? Every correspondence I had with them started with "I can't lose the data"! Really?!

remember sdb2 was the problem in the beginning as well.

How do sdc2, sdd2 and sde2 come out of this process ?

ps you can use the tags [code] to post output from telnet, makes it easier to read

[unlucky1]

Okay, I'm confused. Here's b2 and c2 and they look odd to me:

why do disk /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc have the same disk identifier :scratch

root@(none):/ # mdadm --examine /dev/sdb2
