Here Here You Two.

One is not more than 1

Well, I gave the server to the guy that sold it to us. He threw the drives in his server and it looked like it'd be able to pull the data. It had to run through the disk check and rebuild first so I left it with him and i'm waiting back for word on it.

Glad to hear that there is some hope!!!

Sorry, I seem to have hijacked the thread, I'll stop now...

Reason_Man · 08-23-2006, 10:37 PM

You guys are alot more well behaved than other forums I frequent. Not much(or any) flaming going on. Nice change of pace.

I checked in with the guy that had my server. Turns out that even with the drives in another 4100 it still "freezes" after the disk check. He's going to try and clone the disks after booting to Linux I think, the phone kept cutting out so I didn't catch all of it. Either way, i'm not really hold onto much hope for the server since it now sounds like a drive problem if it's giving the same trouble in a perfectly working server. I'll keep you posted.

re3dyb0y · 08-24-2006, 03:30 AM

Well Behaved.....

Hm....

Most of the time..... But they do have their moments

Blue keeps us in line pretty well.

If he gets lucky and can clone the drives, then the snap should rebuild them. The OS is a little archaic by todays standards, so it doesn't tolerate and funkyness from the drives. A fresh set might just make the difference.

Well, I can't speak for the others, but being a full admin on a different forum for 4 years plus kind of "tames" you down a little bit.

Jontz, did you notice how Dave ignored us? heh heh heh

As for the problem, listen to Dave (blue68f100) and he will steer you in the right direction with this one.

ROFLMFAO, I already knew that bone head!

Reason_Man · 08-25-2006, 04:19 PM

Well, I just got word today that there was nothing he could do to retrieve our data. I can't say that i'm suprised. Live and learn right?

You guys were ridiculously helpful and nicer than I thought. Thanks alot.

blue68f100 · 08-25-2006, 04:39 PM

We try to help users in need.

Wish we could have helped you recovered your data.

You may still be able to use a recovery service, but lots of $$$$$.

Were you able to determine if your 4100 is still good. Or were you just unforunate to loose 2 drives in you raid5 array?

Sorry that we couldn't be of more help to you though. It would have been nice to be able to get all of your data back. If there is anything else we can do, just let us know!

Reason_Man · 08-25-2006, 11:02 PM

Yeah, the data recovery centers are expensive and as such, out of the question. I think the server itself might still be good since the drives acted the exact same way in an identical server. I guess I just lost 2 or more in the strike.

Thanks alot. I'll probably stick around here for a while, i've learned quite a bit from this thread alone.
