Disk failure. What can I do?
Hi,
I turned of my DSMg600 box by the power button yesterday. The box has a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 drive with 500 GB capacity.
I turned of the box today morning, tha box sent me a mail: "Administrator, CRITICAL ERROR"!
I logged on to the device, I found a big button on the browser "Format Internal Hard Drive". The HDD LED was yellow on the front panel.
Ouch... every pictures + videos of my soons are on the disk...
I restarted the box, the result was same: the drive doesn't work.
I unmounted the HDD from the box, and I put it into an Ubuntu 8.04 based PC. Ubuntu says: "Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc2 , missing codepage or helper program, or other error ..."
What can I do? Is it just a simple drive crash and does not consist in a contact with DSMg600?
Thanks

Re: Disk failure. What can I do?
First look if your ubuntu supports file system you are about to mount.
Code:
cat /proc/filesystems
If its supported then you could try to recover files from your hard disk with some recovery software and after that you may try to run fschk or if it fails then reformat the drive.

Thanks for the idea! But fsck.ext2 solves the problem!
But I don't understand that DSMg600's firmware why doesn't offer automatically a repair/fsck option instead of formatting in that critical situation?

Re: Disk failure. What can I do?
I'm not a Linux guru.
fsck.ext2 had a lot of questions. Just three (and not important) files were corrupt.
I have a question: What http POST I need to send to DSMG600 to run a "Scan All Disks and Repair" process? It would be very useful in that critical situation.
Thanks
