Unraid XFS recovery after initialising BJOB from adaptec raid controller

#1 Post by mauler57 »

Hi Guys,

I have an unraid server and tried converting the pc to a motherboard that had an Adaptec 6405 raid controller. I went into the controller and initialised the 3 drives and created JBOD. now in unraid it shows as corrupt. I know i need to use testdisk to recover the partition but I just wanted to clarify what is the best way to restore the data. I need to remove what the Adaptec added and convert it back to xfs. Has anyone been through this to assist? cheers
