Lacie Cloudbox Failed - Mount RAID to Recover?

[Chuck12]

Hello, just stumbled across your forum as I was searching for help with this.. Quick backstory: I own a Lacie Cloudbox ( http://lacie.nas-central.org/wiki/Category:CloudBox ), and use it for my media server NAS. It has just stopped working suddenly. Doesn't seem to be a physical disc problem, more like file system or something maybe. It uses RAID (single disc) and I've been trying to mount it on my computer so I can copy everything off. Now.. my experience with RAID is basically nil. If there's someone here that would be into walking me through the steps involved to mount this drive in Mac, Windows, or Linux, that would be amazing. I can answer any questions, give screenshots, etc. I'm good with computers, just not RAID..

One disc isn't RAID.

It sounds like it uses EXT3, so if the drive is OK, connect it to a PC running Linux and it should appear automatically.

I did connect it to a system using Ubuntu, multiple "drives" showed up. Only a couple were accessible, the rest were greyed out. The ones that are greyed out are the largest and probably contain the data. I'll continue to play around.. Searching for ext3 instead of RAID might turn up more info though.

With the drive connected, can you run this from a terminal? It should print out all the drives and their partition tables.

sudo parted -l

Yes, that's an L (but lowercase).
