Re: WD nas broke can't accessmy files on RAID 1

Okay with some troubles, I managed to understand something.
What I did after installing mbadm is using the command sudo fdisk -l
After that i got a bunch of data, but I guess this is what I needed to know.

Disk /dev/sdc: 3.7 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 33553920 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 560070A2-CB61-4416-BC11-E4F7C2E28388

Device          Start        End    Sectors  Size Type
/dev/sdc1        2048    4196351    4194304    2G Linux swap
/dev/sdc2     6293504 7811938303 7805644800  3.7T Microsoft basic data
/dev/sdc3  7811938304 7814037134    2098831    1G Microsoft basic data
/dev/sdc4     4196352    6293503    2097152    1G Microsoft basic data


After this I tried to run --examine:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sdc

Thanks for the reply!
First of all, I'll try to express myself in the best way I can :) (I'm
actually impressed that you realized my main language)

As you said, the nas won't boot up, it's stuck from yesterday. I'll
probably have to plug out the electricity since it doesn't work at
all. At the moment when I try to log in in the control panel it says
is performing file system consistency check. I'm not even sure if
unplugging right now will make the things even worse.

When you ask me to run those commands, to be honest I wouldn't even
know where to start, from what I tried to do in the last 2 days, I was
only able to see the disk partitions, and nothing more.

As title says, due to a bug in the WD nas, it started creating
infinite shares folder.
At the moment I can't access my NAS anymore, so I decided to try
ubuntu to recover my data.
I tried to follow some guides and to check stuff but seems like
(especially for my NAS) stuff like this doesn't exist.
I don't even wanna try to do stuff on my own since as you can clearly
see I'm not a linux user I don't even understand what's going on.

PS: My nas had 4 slot, one of them was in JBOD format, and with ubuntu
I could easily access the data without problem.

Tried to use some mdadm command but It gave me some "strange" errors
which I would ever try to "fix" on my own.
Tried to give a last chance to my nas yesterday but it's stuck at boot.
Please if someone could really help me task to task because I really
really don't know what to do anymore.

Have you read the raid wiki? Is there any chance you could run the --detail
and --examine commands? (Yes I get you may have problem finding the disks to
be able to run the commands on them! :-)

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Linux_Raid

You might have to take the disks out of the NAS, or force the whole thing
into JBOD mode, but again if it won't boot, that might not be possible ...

Sorry for my poor english It's not my first language.

Better than my foreign languages! If you can't express yourself clearly in
English, then post bi-lingual. I'm guessing your first language is Spanish
or Italian, which I don't understand, but there are probably people who do.
But you need to use as much English as possible to get the best help.

Cheers,
