I don't think it is your GOS file (it passed the CRC etc). I would suspect the memory is too small, or the GOS on the unit is so messed up, it is telling you it can't just recover it.

What I thought was it didn't seem to be doing anything to try and recover the RAID array, it just unpacked to a ramdisk and then tried to start copying files. But what if the RAID array wasn't mounted properly? Shouldn't it try and rebuild / recover it first?
When I booted linux on it I could see the disks and the RAID partitions, but I couldn't mount them because I didn't know how they were set up (with the exception of a /boot directory which was plain ext2 on each drive).
Somehow I believe GOS stores the RAID setup in this boot partition (along with the kernel and initrd) in a file called 'suitcase'. I had a look in there and it looks like a text file of RAID setup information but it wasn't in the usual /etc/raidtab format, so I don't quite know how to interpret it. When I next get to the server I'll get a copy of this file and post it here.
So the long and the short of it is: GOS file is ok, RAID isn't so it can't unpack it
thanks for the help
