Hi,
I've used the recovery tool from http://highlevelbits.free.fr/ to recover mybook to a 2tb WD green drive it seems to be booting ok but when i access via the WD storage manager cannot see any drives..
I can also see that the mybook is showing little activitey on the front leds.
I've also attempted the SSH hack "so i could see whats going on" and keep getting Firmware failed to download - try later from any source have attempted to login via SSH and cannot with any of my created usernames.
I managed to login to using the root:root user..
Had a look and getting the following
[root@teros TMPDISK]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/sdb: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sdb3 383 505 987997+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sdb4 506 1024 4168867+ fd Linux raid autodetect
Managed to sort of fix but having the issue that the drive is now only showing 2 TB of space. I used the following to complete..
Anyone know how to fix.
login and type:
su
fdisk /dev/sda
d (delete partition)
4 (number 4)
n (new partition)
4 (number 4)
start cylinder: 506
end cylinder: press enter for default
t (change type of partition)
4 (number 4)
fd (=raid array)
w (to write the new partition table)
reboot
After the reboot type:
mdadm —stop /dev/md4 (to stop the array)
mdadm -Cv /dev/md4 -l1 -n2 -c64 /dev/sda4 missing (to create a new array)
mdadm: chunk size ignored for this level
mdadm: /dev/sda4 appears to contain an ext2fs file system
size=1461079620K mtime=Mon Feb 22 18:50:52 2010
mdadm: size set to 1461079552K
y (Continue creating array? -> press y -> you will get the message "mdadm: array /dev/md4 started." )
mke2fs -L "Data" -j /dev/md4 (to format the partition)
