cephaswiebe Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 So my parents had a fire in their house and the synology enclosure seems to have bit the dust. It was set up as 2x1 1Tb drives in a raid 1 - the 2 disks both seem to be fine, I can attach the disk to Unraid and it shows up using unassigned disks plugin (shows as fs linux_raid_member), but I can't mount it. I have read that using linux you can set it to be a non raid drive using mdadm --detail command. Anyone know if this is possible using Unraid? I don't have easy access to a linux system to mess with and try recover the data. Quote Link to comment

You can try installing a Linux VM and then pass through the drives to the VM (using the ata-id method - see Spaceinvaderone video) and try recovering data in the VM (whatever you do, don't write directly to the 2 disks). There ought to be a guide somewhere out there e.g. maybe google recover synology raid in ubuntu or something like that and have a read up. Unraid is a very simple version of Linux so trying to do advance stuff like mdadm might be a little too risky. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Unraid also replaces the md device driver with it's own flavor so you wont be able to do any mdadmin commands directly on the unraid host. Quote Link to comment
