If I have not given enough information or if another place is better to ask, please let me know.
I have a QNAP NAS and I have replaced one drive because I thought I would just plug in the HD in my machine, boot it and mount the device. I have done so in the past, but now it does not seem to work anymore. This due to the fact that drives are now standard in RAID and not just ext3 or ext4 anymore. I removed the drive, because the other drive that contained the same data failed. So I had the data twice on two separate drives and now I have none. Just adding it to the QNAP does not work either. I would like to be able to mount /dev/sdc3 and retrieve the data. I run Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) Here is some of the output: root@penne : fdisk -l /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 1.4 TiB, 1500301910016 bytes, 2930277168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 7968AD58-41D8-48EA-A55B-AE1EF3689B68 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sdc1 40 1060289 1060250 517.7M Microsoft basic data /dev/sdc2 1060296 2120579 1060284 517.7M Microsoft basic data /dev/sdc3 2120584 2912488109 2910367526 1.4T Microsoft basic data /dev/sdc4 2912488112 2913548399 1060288 517.7M Microsoft basic data /dev/sdc5 2913548408 2930255999 16707592 8G Microsoft basic data The data is on /dev/sdc3 root@penne : cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md124 : active raid1 sdc3[0] 1455183616 blocks super 1.0 [1/1] [U] unused devices: <none> The raid1 device is /dev/md124 root@penne : mdadm --detail /dev/md124 /dev/md124: Version : 1.0 Creation Time : Sat Oct 10 01:30:57 2015 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 1455183616 (1387.77 GiB 1490.11 GB) Used Dev Size : 1455183616 (1387.77 GiB 1490.11 GB) Raid Devices : 1 Total Devices : 1 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Sun Oct 25 13:10:43 2015 State : clean Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 1 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Name : 4 UUID : d358edc1:b9272da7:e071f2f0:0462cd1f Events : 10 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 35 0 active sync /dev/sdc3 When I try to mount : root@penne : mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/1/ mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' root@penne : mount /dev/md124 /mnt/3 mount: unknown filesystem type 'drbd' I have removed and added it with root@penne : mdadm --manage /dev/md124 --stop mdadm: stopped /dev/md124 root@penne : mdadm --assemble /dev/md124 /dev/sdc3 mdadm: /dev/md124 has been started with 1 drive. All to no avail. I have searched the past week and am not able to figure out how to mount the partition. Any help would be appreciated. houghi
