is there a script to give the full structure of the disks in the array?

Hi

 

In case you loose a disk, I wouldn't know what content I had on that disk.  Is there any script that can extract the tree of the folders on each disk, this way I will know if a disk failed that I lose specific data and try to restore them (assuming I don't have a parity drive).

 

thanks

I developed such a script and it is working. I didn't have time yet to finish it completely. But it already gives you the content by disk and saves it as a txt file.

It adds the current date to the txt file and you can switch from us to Europe date format.

 

If you want I can send you a pm with the script.

 

I take no responsibility if your server starts to catch fire or anything ;-)

 

Before I release it to the public, I wanted to have a Linux guru here take a look at my script. This is just my second script and I am not a programmer by profession...

Hi

 

Why dont you post it here, so the unraiders can examine it first before i run it?

 

I hope it doesn't wipe out my data

I agree, when you're ready to post it here and we can have a look.

 

I think it is a good idea to catalogue disks and this would prove useful.

 

I'm not a programmer either but can often "read" scripts and get the general idea of what they're doing.

Hi guys, opened another thread some days ago and forgot to link it in this thread.

Sorry...

 

Here you go, use at your own risk!
