LaCie Drive Question, Issue, Concern
-
We're letting it run for a bit to see if it is trying to rebuild the Array
as nothing else seems to really fit
-
Yes, let it attempt a rebuild. HOWEVER, no amount of drive failure should cause an issue like this until the array itself has failed. This is not a drive rebuilding issue, this is sadly bigger than that.
-
Hopefully this is just a corrupt file system table that can be repaired.
-
Yeah as someone else said, the decision to put company archive data on an external consumer grade drive simply means that the data is expendable...
So if everyone is at a loss, 'here's to the best'
-
Should only take a few hours for the RAID to resilver. Can you disconnect and reconnect the USB? Maybe it just needs to reread the NTFS table.
I assume that we are on NTFS here?
-
Yeah windows file server / DC / print server / USB Network Share host on consumer grade equipment......

But is it NTFS? Could be ReFS, FAT32, etc.
-
Yes Windows running NTFS
-
I like Scotts idea of imaging the drive and working on the image... A simple chkdsk might fix the drive... or it might eat the data.
-
Have you run chkdsk yet?
-
Not yet, asked the boss and he said let it run for a few hours. . .
-
Yeah, give the RAID some time to chooch and Monday you can beat on it
-
How long has the RAID been sitting? RAID 1 should not take very long, even with large drives, to sync up.
