Cannot access the Hard Disk

[Bruno]

Hello guys,

I had a NAS4FREE server, running with a single hard disk (unfortunately).
Last week, I changed the DNS at the server interface and it was frozen. I tried to reboot and now it is not booting anymore.

What should I do? Please, help!!!

Thanks in advance,
Bruno

Sounds like your OS install has gone nuts - your data might still be OK.

Maybe try to reinstall the OS? You could unplug the data drive while setting up the OS to be safe and not overwrite your data.

Hey KenZ71,

thanks a lot for your reply.

So, I've installed and configured Nas4Free in a second Hard Disk.
From the web interface, I could mount the first Hard Disk but, the data was not recognized.
I'm afraid that my data has gone :S
Any other suggestion for recovering the data?

Thanks once again!

from the command line do a gpart list

and try to mount the partition using the mount command

[b0ssman]

it should be similar to viewtopic.php?f=55&t=6922

Hello B0ssman,

I tried to run the gpart command and I got the following result (pictures attached).

Once identified the partition (ada1), I tried:
- fsck_ufs -p /dev/ada1p1 and the answer: NO WRITE ACCESS, UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN FSCK MANUALLY
- fsck_ufs -p /dev/ada1 and the answer: CANNOT FIND FILE SYSTEM SUPERBLOCK

Any idea about what I should try?

Thanks,
Bruno

you forgot the point

- run a file system check (http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=faq:0001) in my case fsck_ufs -p /dev/da5a
