I am writing this in case it helps others.The system/bootimage partitions on my Terastation Live hard drives got corrupted, and one drive got damaged, during an abrupt power loss and could not recover. The Buffalo support folks were very helpful, but together, we could not get the Terastation back up (I have to say they did their best to help me, and I did appreciate the 24/7 support).There was no indication that any of my data in the shares were corrupted. After investigating data recovery companies (one company I talked to wanted $2000-$7000!), I ran across references to mounting the drive on a Linux server and recovering the data (which I am sure would have worked had I known how to do this), and also to software called UFS Explorer that could read XFS drives on a Windows PC. Thank god for internet.I recovered all my data for about $100 using UFS explorer software for Windows and an external USB drive dock (Thermaltake BlacX 2.5'/3.5' HDD USB docking station). All I had to do was remove the drives from the TS, plug in the USB dock into the PC, plug in the SATA drive into the dock, run the UFS Explorer software on the PC, and then just copy the data!!I was also lucky in that I was using RAID1 - I did not have to do any 'rebuilding of the RAID array' in UFS Explorer because I was using RAID1 and each disk in the pair had all the data.
In fact I recovered the data from both drives in a pair and compared them to ensure that there was no data corruption. I would certainly recommend use of RAID1 for its simplicity during recovery - yes, you do not get as much disk space as some other RAID configs, but disk space is CHEAP!All in all, the data recovery cost me about a tenth of what I would have been willing to pay.In case you are wondering, I did have the TS on a UPC backup; in this case, I plugged in a Samsung Laser printer into the same UPC, and it overloaded the UPC, which caused it to shut down.After this incident, I also bought another NAS - Linkstation Live - and now have TS to LS backups twice daily. The two devices are on different UPCs on different circuits in my house.Hope this is of help to somebody some day. I have a Linkstation LS 500GL that failed with a bad fan.
I have been trying to recover the data.The UFS Explorer Standard Access 4.4 for approx $25 DOES NOT WORK. I have had 9% recovery of my photo files.I have also tried using UBUNTU to read the XFS (the housing part of this answer did work,), and have only had a 50% copy success rate (on bytes).In both cases, there are errors reading files and everything stops. With UFS, I often have to turn off the USB drive with the XFS on it, change USB ports, and restart it.Does anyone have a solution that actually works?At this point, NO ONE SHOULD BE USING XFS due to the disasterous recovery rate.Heidi. Since having a Linkstation die, leaving its disk OK, seems so common, and recovering that disk so difficult, I'm surprised there isn't a copy function in the firmware so the old disk can be plugged (via SATA-USB) into the USB port of a new Linkstation, and the Linkstation would copy the contents of the old disk to its new disk.
Reading XFS in Windows is a roundabou. Slow, way of accomplishing that, and there seems some question whether UFS explorer will actually work after one has paid for it, and running a virtual Linux and sharing disk on a Windows system is rather extreme. Or does brand new Linstation LS-CHL have that capability but I'm not finding it? I did daily back-ups from my PC and single-drive NAS to my 1TB TeraStation Live runing RAID 5.The data drive in my PC went down and after shutting everything down and replacing the drive in my PC, when the TeraStation booted back up, I got the E04 error.I have tried EM booting and re-flashing the firmware. It successfully flashes but it still can't load the kernel.I've tried booting with each of the drives removed and it didn't help.Will doing the TFTP boot thing be worth the time?Where can I get the boot image?
The links that I've found so far in the forums don't work.I've purchased UFS Explorer and can mount the RAID, but the file structure that it's presenting isn't right - it's flattend out a lot of the file structure and is also presenting a collection of inodexxxxxx directories that aren't too helpful.Any thoughts?Thanks in advance. Hi,Thanks for the hope!!Just one question:Where is the source of your healthy files?
& which files did you replace? My Linkstation LS-V2.0TL-EU unit has 3 partitions on it: a 1GB with the boot image one it, a 5 GB with some folders (which seem to be related to boot process, but are mainly empty), & the last one with all my data on it.I assume the files on the first partition are my target, but I've got no clue about the list of files that are supposed to be there, and the ones I'm supposed to replace. Also where can I find the source files that i'm supposed to use to overwrite the corrupted ones?Thanks a lot for the help.Babak. In my case, I connected the four drives to my PC, Drive 1 to SATA2, Drive 2 to SATA3, Drive 3 to SATA4, Drive 4 to SATA5.(SATA 0 is my boot drive and SATA1 is my data drive.)Using UFS File Explorer, I created the virtual RAID, and loaded the SGI XFS partition that I could see first, which was on the drive connected to SATA5.Thinking that I should add the other drives in inverse order, I added the largest partitions from SATA 4, then 3, then 2.After doing that, I was able to build the drive and explore some files. The crazy thing was that I wound up with a file structure that made the most sense when I added the rest of the drives SATA2, SATA3, SATA4. Bottom line is to try it both ways.UFS File Explorer is obviously somewhat half-baked (it doesn't even allow drag-and-drop from the file window), but it looks like it's the best shot I've got to pull data from my back-up drive.The biggest consideration here is that I should have gotten a different back-up plan than relying on the Tera Station the first time a while back when I got my first E04 error and saw the nightmares that people have with Tera Station products where the drives are perfectly good but the Tera Station is riddled with E04 and E06 issues.
