Hey. I just wanted to say that I’ve restored all my data this morning. Took four days and four new hard drives, but I got it back. I was fighting with my Raid0 array. Yeah yeah… I know what you’re thinking. “Raid0? Are you crazy or something?”. I guess you already know the answer to that question.

Anyway… since I know when the array stopped to function I could assume that the data wasn’t lost, just unaccessible, so I figured to just mirror each disk and then start to play on a low access level. Turned out that for some reason raid-metadata got corrupted during hibernation of my Windows machine, so during the next reboot my raid controller simply couldn’t figure out what do to.

The solution was simply to remove the raid-metadata from all disks, and then create a new array in it’s place in the exact same configuration.

I’m getting my self a Drobo. No kidding.
