I have a ShareSpace with 2 - 1 TB drives. Six months ago I added an additional 2TB drive but didn’t change the default RAID configuration from SPAN. Unfortunately, I didn’t know/understand about RAID at the time and assumed the default would be fine.
The drive I added has now failed the SMART test and I am getting the Missing Data Volume error as well. I know that there isn’t much data on the failed drive as we don’t have much over 2 TB worth of data on the NAS. So I don’t really care about that drive and am sending it back as RMA.
However, how can I get access to the data on the other two drives which are both fine? I have done a lot of reading about RAID 1 or 5 data recovery and went so far as to install Ubuntu but am stuck on exactly what filetype is the SPAN configuration? EXT3 doesn’t seem to work.
Please help! I understand that I should have/need to have backups of important data but I am learning and promise to make them if I can get access to the data. Thank you.
