Diverge Posted July 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited July 25, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diverge Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted July 25, 2013 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).

Diverge Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks 'interested'! This throws me in a loop and confuses me. Your array doesn't have an sdx3 partition. Basically I'm trying to piece back together my array, without knowing all the partitions that existed. My array in it's broken state consisted of the following: DiskStation> sfdisk -l /dev/sda1 256 4980735 4980480 fd /dev/sda2 4980736 9175039 4194304 fd /dev/sda3 9437184 3907015007 3897577824 f /dev/sdb1 256 4980735 4980480 fd /dev/sdb2 4980736 9175039 4194304 fd /dev/sdc1 256 4980735 4980480 fd /dev/sdc2 4980736 9175039 4194304 fd /dev/md01 0 4980351 4980352 0 /dev/md11 0 4194175 4194176 0 With testdisk I found my data partition. I confirmed that I did find my data partition, by manually putting it together using losetup. Got all my data off it, and now trying to fix it to learn how. I outlined what I did here if anyone is interested: http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic ... 15&t=71546 Based on graymouser's info I wrote a new partition table to all my drives. I assume my array consisted of the DSM partition sd[abc]1, the swap sd[abc]2, then an extended partion sd[adb]3. then logical partition sd[abc]5. Everything I had correlated to graymousers array setup, but he had different sized drives, so his end point for his data partition is different. But I don't know why I can't build the array manually with the new sd[abc]5 partitions vs creating loop devices w/ losetup. I can still see my data if I create loop devices again and assemble the array with them rather then the partitions. Here's my current setup w/ my recently rewritten partition tables: DiskStation> sfdisk -l /dev/sda1 256 4980735 4980480 fd /dev/sda2 4980736 9175039 4194304 fd /dev/sda3 9437184 3907015007 3897577824 f /dev/sda5 9453280 3907012583 3897559304 fd /dev/sdb1 256 4980735 4980480 fd /dev/sdb2 4980736 9175039 4194304 fd /dev/sdb3 9437184 3907015007 3897577824 f /dev/sdb5 9453280 3907012583 3897559304 fd /dev/sdc1 256 4980735 4980480 fd /dev/sdc2 4980736 9175039 4194304 fd /dev/sdc3 9437184 3907015007 3897577824 f /dev/sdc5 9453280 3907012583 3897559304 fd /dev/md01 0 4980351 4980352 0 /dev/md11 0 4194175 4194176 0 The only thing I can think of is somehow I have the wrong end point for partition 5. Any expert advice is welcome, and more sfdisk -l info from other peoples systems will be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diverge Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted July 25, 2013 Can you guys that posted your info also do a: fdisk -l so I can see partition types Maybe I created my #5 partition with the wrong type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graymouser Posted July 25, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 25, 2013 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). I have 1 data volume partition. I'm not sure about md2 or md3 but I can do some investigation when I get home tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things just got even weirder, but I'm still curious on how this all works. Eventually if I can't figure it out or corrupt the drive contents I'm gonna start over fresh (since I have all the data off it now), so I'll see how my partition layout is supposed to be and how it differs from everyone who posts here.

Diverge Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted July 26, 2013 interested, Your system looks pretty unique. What does it consist of? EXSI? Raw Device Mappping for harddrives, Direct I/O passthrough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interested Posted July 27, 2013 Share #11 Posted July 27, 2013 Like you see, all my hardware is written in my signature. I have to admit, that I did have some problems in the beginning with DSM4.1-2668, but the good people on this forum helped me ... With this hardware I can run almost everythink & the comsumption is low - now with 6x3TB disk > 55W. What can I say, I love it .... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34829066/Synology/Slike/E3222327.JPG Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been thinking maybe I should build my EXSI into it, and ditch the smaller Lian LI Q16 (since I don't really need it at my TV for WMC anymore, using virtualized windows and a Xbox 360 for WMC extender).
