See if you can recover data form disk9 with ddrescue, then you'd do a new config with all the disks (including old disk2) and the clone from disk9, if successful.

okay, wish me luck.

going to run ddrescue as per your link.

 

Added brand new disk to server

 

Running.

blimey - it's going to take a long time... 

do you think it will speed up or is the disk dead?

 

In the interum, i was thinking of taking disk2 though XFS Explorer to extract as much data from disk2 - what do you think?

[JorgeB]

See if it advances, what's the current status? Is the disk still doing the noise?

[JorgeB]

If disk2 is mounting with UD you don't need XFS explorer, whatever that is.

Windows based disk recovery software.

Good morning.
Hope everyone is well.

 

signed in to the server this morning and terminal is blank.

How do I bring up ddrescue?

Do I use the same command again? 
ddrescue -f /dev/sdd /dev/sdac /boot/ddrescue.log

 

Harddrive still making sounnds like it's trying to spin up, smin down, spin up loop.

SIDE THOUGHT

I am starting to think there is no hope for these 2 disks.

Contemplating biting the bullet and removing disk2 and disk9 and replace them with the new drives and creating a new config (hopefully I can still access the data from all the other disks on the array.

 

Then for the 2 x damaged disks, do some data recovery in windows with UFS Explorer and add those recovered files back to the array?

 

What do you think? Or is there hope yet?

 

Also, I will be getting a further drive so I can set up dual parity.

 

Is it too early for a beer?! lol

Wasn't disk2 mounting with UD?

 

ddrescue is your best bet for disk9, if that doesn't work UFS explorer won't also, UFS explorer might help on the cloned disk if there are fs issues.

Disk2 is mounting in UD

 

Disk9 with ddrescue - terminal was closed. Do I just run the same command again "ddrescue -f /dev/sdd /dev/sdac /boot/ddrescue.log" ?

So why are you saiyn it's lost? Like mentioned just do a new config with it and the remaining disks.

You can, it will resume from where it was.

Disk2 is showing in UD.

 

Ran the command for ddrescue and getting this:

IMHO disk9 is lost.

[alinkognito]

I agree 😓

ce-la-vie

 

I will be creating a new config without the 2 x failed drives

I wil try recover the data externally (disk2 will be okay to do that on. disk9...well that will be another story (maybe a data recovery company for that).

 

Thanks for you all for all your help.

Again, you can use old disk2 in the new array.

[alinkognito]

Noted. Will do, saves me some time trying to recover it externally

 

Thanks again.
