Thanks mips...
I gave it a try last night... here is quick summary:
I've got two original drives (I'll call drive 1 and drive 2), and one replacement that the NAS tried (perhaps unsuccessfully) at rebuilding the RAID on it (drive 3). I tested each one individually in the computer (hence they all appeared as "sdb")
Drive 1: In DiskUtility, I see the SMART Status as "Disk Failure is Imminent"... but I did try mounting this one with the following command:
sudo mount –o ro –t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /media/disk1
and I got the following error mounting:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog -try dmesg | tail or so
Drive 2: In DiskUtility, I see the SMART Status as "Disk has a few bad sectors"... but everything else seems fine. I did try mounting this one with the following command:
sudo mount –o ro –t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /media/disk2
and I got the following message mounting:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
Drive 3: In DiskUtility, I see the SMART Status as "Healthy"... but under Volumes, it mentions the "Warning: the partition is misaligned by 512 bytes. This may result in very poor performance. Repartitioning is suggested."
I did try mounting this one with the following command:
sudo mount –o ro –t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /media/disk3
and I got the following error mounting:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog -try dmesg | tail or so
What am i doing wrong?... Or do i need some application to get at them?
Thanks again... ROb
