SnapOS Update: 2200 Cracked Mirror
I just spent 45 minutes with Adaptec Tech support on the phone trying to solve my broken mirror issue. They confirmed that the disk format is based on a "highly customized" FreeBSD operating system. That was mentioned earlier in this thread I belive by an ex Snap employee.
Prior to calling Adaptec, my attempts with debug commands: Config device config individual 50000 force, I got error: 'Indivudual' JBOD devices require a single Logical Device Id or a Public Partiton Id.
The "Cracked Mirror" designation did go away however. The mirrored disk just reported itself as
"Mirror - Primary disk
Data protection disabled. Backup disk has failed. Primary disk is OK."
Adaptec's suggestion [of course] was data recovery as any attempt to force the Data protection disk into a single disk mode would more than likely result in the disk being They reluctantly refunded my $120 tech support call fee since they were unable to help.
The tech did note however, that had I not formatted the other drive that was part of the mirror, that they could have done a successul recovery.... ??? There are some "tricks" to get past the panic system light and access the server... We need an ex Snap technician as part of this thread don't we....
Ideas and suggestions are welcome and solicited.
