I recently upgraded my parity and 1 data drive in my unRaid server.  In an atttempt to see if data was retreivable from these drives, I attached one to a PC and downloaded rfstool-0.14.  I am running Windows XP Pro.

 

The attached drive shows up in windows disk management as "Healthy Unknown Partition (Disk 2)

 

But when I run "rfstool autodetect" I receive:

Drive 2, Partition 0 is ReiserFS

Partition Size: 5001... Bytes (476... MB)

ERROR The device is not ready,. unable to get drive geometry from this drive

 

I've also tried to run just "rfstool," which results in:

Got newstyle partition information, assuming Windows XP, then I get a windows "Rfstool.ece has encountered a problem and needs to close..."

 

I've also tried rfstool -p2.0 with the same results.

 

Is there anything else that needs to be done for proper install (adding paths, copying DLLs, etc?)

 

Also, this may be my old PARITY drive - not sure if that matters

 

Can anyone see anything that I may be missing?

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The parity drive does not have a file-system on it.  There will be nothing for rfstool to see but meaningless bits.

Thanks.  I thought that may have something to do with it... I'll swap drives to see if I get better results.
