LaCie
Ethernet BigDisk 1TB Data Recovery
The LaCie Big Disk Ethernet hard drive storage device is vulnerable to unexpected
power outages. These power outages can cause a system crash on the Lacie
unit. The Lacie 1TB big disk ethernet storage device is designed using the
simplified Linux operating system using 2-500GB hard drives in a Raid configuration.
The following is the step by step procedure for data recovery from the LaCie
hard drive crash:
- You will need the Boot CD for Ubuntu
for Linux
- You will have to disassemble the LaCie box, void the warranty if you
must.
- Remove both hard drives from the enclosure and mirror each hard drive
for the absolute safety precaution. You can use our professional
hard drive cloning tool.
- Connect both hard drives and Boot with the Ubuntu CD.
- Open a terminal and type "sudo
fdisk -l"
- You should find the path for both hard drives, the first should be
something like /dev/sdb2
487379970 (blocks), the second drive does not have a partition and should
show up like /dev/sdc.
- With the text editor, open up /etc/mdadm.conf
under the 130mb mount, this is the LaCie Raid configuration file.
- Open up Terminal and type
"sudo nano /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf", this is
the new RAID config file.
- Copy the settings from the Lacie config file in step 7 to the new
config file in step 8. Change the paths to match your current setup.
The smaller mount goes first and the bigger one (without the partition
) second. should look like:
DEVICE /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=linear num-devices=2 UUID=163218f3:299b9ccc:3c666c38:6053
- To save the changes, hit "CTRL-X" and press
"Y".
- Now in terminal type "sudo
mdadm—assemble /dev/md0"
- You're done, the data should now be available.
In case of failure, there could be additional issues with one or more
hard drive of the LaCie BigDisk, you can contact my hard drive Data Recovery
