Server Failer. Greyhole data recovery

[flemingfamily]

Ok i live on the east cost of the USA and we had a major power outage in January. i dont know if it was the hard shutdown or if the power surged before hand but the sata controller on my server died a few weeks later.( wont see one of the drives and slows down to sata I from sata II) be big problem is that i had Greyhole running and i want to know if the data is recoverable and how i would do that. i know if you went in to the filesystem were the drivers were all the files were divided up between them can i just pull all the data from that??

Thanks

I'm not a pro at greyhole or anything, but as long as you weren't running raid 0, can't you just pull the drives and take data off them manually? As far as I've figured out so far, greyhole just moves files around and automatically creates links and stuff like that.

Workdawg is right, you can just plug your hard drives into a computer that will understand the file system it is using, and read the files off of it. Greyhole makes full copies of files on the different hard drives in the storage pool.

Then follow this post's instructions to get your existing greyhole files up and running again.
