RAID 1 help - 06-30-2011, 12:49 PM


Ok, google has failed me, so I thought I'd ask.

Tried to access some old photos, and the files have become corrupted and disappeared. These are on a HD I have in a RAID 1 array. Is there some way to access the mirrored array to see if the files are still intact on that HD?

You have an active RAID1 and the hard drive has not gone bad, but files are corrupt?

Well, you can just unplug the hard drive that has the bad files and boot of the other one.

But I would think if you have a bad file on one, it would/should have mirrored to the other one as well. Thus is RAID, but I could be wrong.

Ok, unplugged my master drive, and the backup drive has the original files on them. What would be the best course of action now? Use that drive as master and wipe the other and turn it into the new mirror?

And thanks for the suggestion - my pictures are back :)

Nope, I lied. Checked the wrong folder - guess the files are gone for good.

I don't need them, just wish I had them. Not worth paying someone to recover them.
