Re: 4 HDD RAID0 issue

So, the process took awhile but that was to be expected since I had a little over 3TB on the 4TB RAID0. The copy from TestDisk worked just fine after increasing the cylinders by 6. All data copied off and has been verified working. I attempted to write the partition after copying the data off, just ...

Re: 4 HDD RAID0 issue

Currently copying the data over one main folder at a time.

Re: 4 HDD RAID0 issue

Through the process of elimination I've found that changing cylinders to 486404 will work (an increase of 6 cylinders).

First a little more information for those with the same problem.

I found instructions online suggesting to move the remaining drives to non-members, then recreate the entire RAID array. So that is what I did followed ...
