Destroyed mirror RAID (1), Want to get data, but how?

I had a degraded mirrored RAID set that was functioning in its degraded state - reads and writes were no problem.
I thought that if I used DiskUtility to destroy the RAID, it would convert the drives to normal drives, and I would have access to each individually, but this was not the case. I also thought the data was backed up, but this was not the case.
I used the minus sign in the RAID tab DiskUtility to destroy the RAID. There are now 2 drives, but neither is able to be mounted:
bash-3.2# diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUIDpartitionscheme *698.6 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUIDpartitionscheme *698.6 Gi disk2
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS 698.3 Gi disk2s2
If I try to verify the first disk:
bash-3.2# diskutil verifyDisk disk0
Error encountered attempting to verify/repair disk0: Unrecognized filesystem (-9958)
but if I try to mount it, it thinks the mount is successful, but nothing new shows up on the Desktop, nor with "df"
bash-3.2# diskutil mountDisk disk0
Volume(s) mounted successfully
in reality, the drive is NOT "mounted successfully."
disk2 is in worse shape, as the OS is not even fooled into thinking it is mountable:
bash-3.2# diskutil mountDisk disk2
One or more volume(s) failed to mount
So I am trying to put my recovery efforts toward disk0.
Any ideas on how to mount the drive and get data off of it?

I had the same issue a few months back.
1 drive of my mirroed raid died. So I took the working drive out of that box and put it in a FW enclosure. It mounted fine. However after converting it back to a regular volume it would not mount. I tried everything thing I exhausted google searches.
the only fix was to reinitialise the drive. Luckily I had the data backed up elsewhere.

    Unless you can figure out a way to distract Verizon's service from detecting you have not "paid to play", the answer is No.

  • I want to get data from only RESB table without loss of any deltas

    i have to fetch the reservation details for the production orders.
    we are using descrete manufacturing method to keep track the Work in process and cost .
    for addition of components manually in the production order we can track thru change date i.e From AUFK table with field name AEDAT. for each time when we are adding the components the system will create a new line item In tableRESB-OBJNR(field)
    i need very few fields from RESB table to be pulled into SAP BW.
    how should i proceed creating a generic exractor without any loss of deltas.
    i want to get data from only resb table into sap bw.
    how should i proceed with Generice extractor with single table RESB and what would be the delta field . could any one throw some light .
    all answers would be rewarded with points

    I have few reports for BOM data is to be pull into bw
    all the reports contain the same tables Mentione below
    MAST- material to BOM LINK
    STKO- BOM header
    STPO- BOM ITEM
    STAS- BOM ITEM SELECTION
    how should i create ageneric datsource satisfying that all the data comes from these tables without fail of deltas,
    my doubts.1. Do i have to create a separate data sources (generic) for all these individually and load into separate ODS'S AND CLUB THEM into single ODS further.?
    if i create i dont know what should be delta field that has to be picked for each datasource
    2. Do i have to create a view on all these tables and create a generic datasource.if created what would be the delta field i have to select.
    could you pls let me know how should i pull the data without loosing any deltas
    could you pls let me know the flow with delta fields mentioned

  • Need help to solve problem regarding Serial/USB want to get data on event base

    Hello This NI Forums have helped me a lot in learning the Labview, every time I am in problem people on this forums have helped me.
    Actually I need some example VI which could guide me to solve my problem.
    I want to get data on USB speed 1mega and should be event handled means when every a byte is received at com port ( which is always Hex value)  should be written in text file without the loosing the data.
    Thanks in advance 

    1. Use polling. Use the "Bytes at Serial Port" to read the data.
    2. No way to write each byte at a file at this speed . Store them in an array and every some time write the file and empty the array.
    3. If you can start with lower transfer rates and then go up to 1Mbps.

    I have version 10.6.8 and want to get icloud.  How do I do that? Can I also upgrade to the lion?

    Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

    I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..

    First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the phone by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

    Apple at this time does not repair iPods, but assuming that that iPod is not in multiple pieces will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to perform a repair for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

  • Mirrored RAID taking too long for Data Rebuild

    I have created a RAID 1 (Mirrored RAID) using Disk Utility in my Mac Pro. I have used 2 x 4TB WD Enterprise Grade HDDs. I copied 10 gb data on to this 4 TB RAID volume. Then removed one of the HDDs & installed in my other Mac Pro. It mounted as normal HDD & showed all the data that I had copied. To check if Disk Utility will rebuild the data, I deleted some part of this data (2 GBs out of 10 GBs) & installed this drive back in the system on which I had Created this RAID volume.
    Initially I was surprised to find that Deleted data is now absent on this RAID volume. But on Launching Disk Utility it started rebuilding data on RAID volume.
    BUT for Rebuilding 2 GB data estimated time shown by system was 9 hrs.
    Is this NORMAL?
    I intend to fill this 4 TB RAID volume with approximately 3.5 TB Data. In case one of the drive fails, how long should it take for Disk Utility to rebuild this amount of Data?
    Is there any alternative way of speeding up this process?
    Will Apple's RAID card help?
    All your suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I know this is an old thread but I'd be interested in what you came up with for a solution.
    Here's my RAID journey thus far.

  • Want to get data from java file

    Hi,
    I am creating a program using JBuilder. All is going fine but im having trouble reading data. Well, I want to read data from a java program which is in the same package of my program but when i wrote the command to read it i get a Exception saying:
    "java.io.FileNotFoundException: dataControl2.java (The system cannot find the file specified)"
    Below is the program i wrote to do this:
    The hole point of my program is to get temporary stored data from my conrol program that stores the data and saves it to a file. This program needs to get the user name and password and if the password is enabled or not.
    try {
    FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("dataControl2.java");
    ObjectInputStream oi = new ObjectInputStream(fi);
    dataControl2 dat = (dataControl2) oi.readObject();
    jTextField1.setText("" + dat.userName);
    if (dat.usePassword == 1) {
    jPasswordField1.setEditable(false);
    usePassword = 1;
    oi.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    jTextField1.setText("" + e.toString());
    I understand that the file cant be found, that wasnt hard to work out, but the thing is that the file does exist so i think i have wrote me program wrong.
    If you can see wat i have done wrong or wish to learn more about my query email me at:
    [email protected]
    or
    [email protected]
    Many Thanks,
    Tom

    well, i did that and this is what my program looks like now:
    try {
    File aFile = new File("dataControl2.java");
    System.out.println("absolute path : " + aFile.getAbsolutePath());
    FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(aFile);
    ObjectInputStream oi = new ObjectInputStream(fi);
    dataControl2 dat = (dataControl2) oi.readObject();
    jTextField1.setText("" + dat.userName);
    if (dat.usePassword == 1) {
    jPasswordField1.setEditable(false);
    usePassword = 1;
    oi.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    jTextField1.setText("" + e.toString());
    System.out.println("");
    System.out.println("" + e);
    Well, now i get a message saying that the file is corrupted.
    I have really screwed this up but i really need to get this fixed.
    If possible i can zip my java program and send it to you if you ask!

  • Dead curve 8310 just want to get data off

    both of my blackberry 8310s will not turn on at all, I really need the data off the newer one.  I took it to a place recommened by the AT&T store by my house and got no help.  Everyone I've talked to said if the phone will not turn on then nothing can be done.  I backed it up before the phone died, but somehow the back up was deleted off my computer.  Is there any way I can get the data or is it truely gone??

    Sadly, everything you have been told so far sounds correct. You might try an undelete program on your computer to see if you can recover the IPD file...if there has not been too much use AND if the drive is not that full, then it's possible that it is still recoverable. But, as for getting data from the BB, I suspect not.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Mirrored RAID degraded, upper slice shows "failed" but drive passes verify

    Hello,
    I have a mid 2010 Mac Mini running Mountain Lion and Server.  The Mirrored RAID is showing degraded and that the upper slice has failed.  However, doing a verify of the drive does not report any problems. 
    Is there a way to determine if this is just a RAID management issue? I've considered rebooting into single user mode and running fsck but not sure what else it will tell me?
    Is it safe for me to click on the slice that is showing "failed" and hit rebuitd? (after verifying a good back up of course).  I started down this path but didn't like the warning OS X provided; it was not crystal clear which physical drive it would erease the data from.
    Thanks,
    Tim
