NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hi i bought this system for work and it has been flawless, untill a hdd went down. just wondered if anyone can help me with this.

I had a twin drive array with naslite-M2 running on Disk-0 with Disk-1 as a mirror of disk-0, disk-0 also had the Naslite operating system on it.

1 disk -0 went down around 6 months ago and i just didnt have time to sort it out so, i ran disk-1 on its own with naslite running from CD-Rom this was the only way i could get it running.

2, data on disk-1 has now increased maybe 50gig since disk-0 went down, so Disk-1 is the one we want to keep.

so what i need to know is how to i turn Disk-1 back into the operating system disk including the partition data held on it, which i cant afford to lose, then format the original Disk-0 as i changed the motherboard on the drive to get it back up and running.

I tried installing disk-0 back in the machine after installing a new motherboard in the drive and it fires back up fine, but Disk-1 is now not recognised and it wants to format it, or something which i cant afford to do.

3 So i need the data on Disk1 with the operating system and then mirror it to the other disk, or does anyone know an easier way, because i am geting confused with this now and dont want to risk losing the data on Disk 1

hope you got all that LOL
TIA

am not sure why disk-1 is not recognised by the repaired disk-0 - have never used mirror but would guess the config and mirror pointers are confused

am not sure what would happen if you re-installed Naslite to disk-0 and then added disk-1

but this should work and give you a [safe] backup copy in case anything goes wrong

assuming you have not written to disk-1 then i think the way forward would be to forget Naslite for the moment until you have the data safe from disc-1

to get at that i would boot from a linux cd with disc-1 and a spare disc in the system - linux should then see a blank disk and your original disk-1 - copy the data from that disk to the blank drive and put it away safe

once thats safe you have a few options to see if you can rebuild what you had

or simply start again with 2 blank drives - master and mirror and import your data from the safe backup and then run the mirror
