Help please - failed RAID config
Hi,
I have a large problem with my external drives.
I had 2 existing Lacie firewire drives mirrored with all photos and music on it and just added two new drives (which I was going to setup as a backup pair).
Unfortunately one of the drives on the existing RAID config had a logical fail (I have a screen print). However the logical drive was still mounted and data was accessible. Before I issued a rebuild I was investigating a possible naming issue and now both disks are showing a failed status. This may have been caused by powering off drives before an unmount.
Anyway, I am sure the data is still on both drives. How can I recover the data from either disk.
OUCH!
First try Disk Utility to just Check the RAID Volume... see what it says.
If it looks like a no-go, then perhaps...

I have these but don't know if it/they recovers/fixes RAIDs...

Help please Problem Raid K8N Diamond Plus
I have a PC with mather board K8N Diamond Plus 2HD maxtor 80gb (6V080E0) sata II. You can help me I am becoming crazy I must mistake in the bios or in the raid, I just do not succeed to install windows on 2 HD Sata II are compatibility problems?
ThankWelcome!!
Firstly, may I suggest you give as much system information as possible, this will help us to assist!!
Second, I recently set up my RAID 0 and had an XP installation problem, but I believe mine was caused by my motherboard not liking the new 1.2BIOS.
As soon as I went back to the default (1.0) BIOS, no probs! -
Hello there,
I am setting up a law office to move from PCs to Macs. About 12 client workstations in two offices. There is a WAN VPN tunnel between the offices.
I have two questions. The first concerns the setup of the headless Mac Pro Server, which came with 4 one TB drives. My initial instinct was to make a single RAID 5 set out of these drives with a 200 GB volume for system, 1 TB for user and service data and ~500 GB for time machine. I realize I will have to install a monitor to run the RAID utility to accomplish this. Any advise/wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
My second question concerns the remote office. The office has about 50 Gig of current files for user work and I would like to implement full folder replication of this shared data between the two offices. I've looked into CCC/Bombich and he does not reccomend CCC for replication. Any ideas in that area?
Sincerely,
BarnThank you for the response MAk.
I very much appreciate your description of TM. It confirms some of the worries I had about it. This is my first server deployment, outside of a lab. I was thinking the users could backup the clients using TM, and that the suitcases could be managed and eventually moved to off-line media--perhaps I am mistaken.
I intend to use CCC for the server itself, and manage and test those backups regularly. I have some familiarity with command-line UNIX stuff from previous lifetimes, and am willing to give rsync a try for folder replication. The office has a lot of data spread out in a fairly flat fashion so I wanted to do folder replication for performance reasons--for sharing documents between two offices--backup would be handled seperately. The remote office will have a 1 TB mini OSX server for this purpose and for a directory replica.
Update: The setup went fine (with borrowed monitor). 2.61 TB RAID 5 set! I have a few test accounts logging in on directory, and am managing to keep acocunt names from matching (the local vs. directory account thing). I have some more testing to do but so far directory users, with a network home at //srvr/volumes/usr/Users works great, at least if I wait five minutes or so after hitting "Create Home Now".
Add-on question: Is there a way to have network home folders sync with local/client home folders for performance reasons? MS does this with mapped folders and off-line synchronization. I may want to do this for some users that travel, and I will definitely need to do this for check-out MacBooks. This is something I have not seen covered in the Server Essentials nor in Support Essentials, or perhaps I skipped over it.

Hi All,
My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
ThanksI used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch. After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south. Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to. You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.
