Ive got an Problem with my JBOD, after my Synology DS died because of the failure of the Boot-HDD, ive wanted to recover my JBOD (3x3TB). Ive Started an Debian-Live to mount and save the data from my Jbod, that worked well.

I Ordered an 8Tb drive from amazon to save the data, but as i started the Rsync Job the middle Device (sdb) got i/o errors... My Fault was to think a reboot would help because of an unhandled Kernel error... Ye, dumb me, the middle Disk died.

My Problem now: Ive got the first and the last device working but mdadm said:

root@debian:~# mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md3 /dev/sd[bc]3

mdadm: /dev/md3 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array.


Thats the Drives:

My Last Idea now, to recreate the JBOD using the Following command:

mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md3 --name=LG-NAS:3 --metadata=1.2 --level=linear --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb3 missing /dev/sdc3

Or

mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md3 --name=LG-NAS:3 --metadata=1.2 --level=linear --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3

Any suggestions what to do next?

A JBOD has no redundancy at all.

If the failed disks is somewhat accessible (ie: it has not catastrophically failed) I would ddrescue it onto another, working disk (with at least the same capacity). At this point, you can try to forcefully restart the array with the new disk replacing the old one.

If this does not work, you had to photorec your disks to extract as much data as possible.

  • Hi, thanks for the answer, the secound disk isnt accessible, i've got an HP Microserver gen8, and the disk isnt showing up in the Intelligent Provisioning... I'll try photorec for the 2 remaining devices and see what happens...
