Need to Access RAID1 HDD via mdadm
Posted: 21 May 2022, 21:04
long story short
problem
I can no longer access TNAS (stuck on initialzation)
The device needs its drives reformatted from BTRFS to EXT4
relucatntly tried remote support but it did not happen....
I have am now trying to fix myself by accessing RAID drive on a spare pc using linux
tried
mdadm -D /dev/md125
lists RAID info
attempting to mount
I get mount:unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_manager
has anybody successfully gained access to their TNAS drives via mdadm
as I side note I do have a windows machine if its possible to and/or easier to use that if its possible at all ?
objective
I need to gain access to the files on either of the RAID drives so they can be backed up to 3rd drive and TNAS can be setup again
