Thankyou! That helps me a lot. One question about your setup. I see it is a 3 disk array. But how many data volume partitions do you have within DSM? Just one, or two? My guess is 2, since it mentions md2 and md3 and there looks to be 2 logical partitions (sda5 and sda6).

Can someone who has xpenology setup in ESXI, or possibly any setup w/ a SHR array do me a favor and SSH into their box and run this command and paste the output here? sfdisk -l And also: fdisk -l I need to see how the partitions are laid out. I'm trying to repair my arrays partition tables. Thanks in advance

That guide didn't help me, ran into a problem: Run sudo mdadm --assemble --scan receive : mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically. Been searching around the net and came across this thread http://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/syno ... -t386.html edit: I've since booted back up the NAS and been working from SSH. I've found what i guess is my volume config backup /etc/lvm/backup/vg1000 and i was able to see all the info on each of my drives running mdadm --examine /dev/sd on each disk a1, a2, b1, b2... ect. Anyone have any ideas on how to restore my volume?

Does anyone know how to go about restoring lost volume info? I was adding a new disk today and DSM gave me a error of some kind, so I figured I'd reboot the NAS but it hung up on the reboot. powered down and rebooted to no volume info. The 3 original drives in the volume show as initiated and I'm pretty sure all my data is still there. All searches on the net show synology themselves can SSH into the box and restore lost volume info.. but obviously that does me no good. Anyone know what I can do to recover my volume? Running Synology DS3612xs - DSM 4.2 build 3202 in ESXI. I just found this guide to get the data off, but I'd still like to learn how to recover the volume info if anyone knows. http://www.synology.com/support/faq_sho ... u&q_id=579
