HOWTO: Recover files from a RAID 1 (mirrored) drive when the ShareSpace has failed

Jason,

I don’t really know if it’s possible to undelete files from a RAID5 array.  It’s not going to be a simple process at all.  You’d need to use a Fedora Core 14 live CD, as mentioned above, and once you have the NASRAID volume mounted, you would need to run data recovery software to try to recover your files.  ext3fs doesn’t delete files the same way as FAT or NTFS and I’m not sure how easy it would be to recovery any files that were fragmented on disk, for example.

I would power down the ShareSpace as soon as possible and check into data recovery software.  You might even want to talk to a data recovery partner about this one…  It’s probably not going to be easy or cheap, though.  Let us know if you are successful!
