[Resolved] Little Help with Unbricking

[Oogbored]

Goflex Home 3tb, have a working alarm flash drive, booted in, can ssh. Sata drive won't recognize. Pointers on where to go from here? If at all possible I'd like to not have to try and format the main drive, still data on it.


Edit: Always double check tutorial links to make sure they are still for your device.

I have webmin up and running off the flash drive, SATA drive is still not detectable. My flash drive is apparently 1080285900 TB in size according to the readout - if only.

[Oogbored]

Found one of the old guides for creating a rescue disk that I will try sometime tomorrow, as of right now I'm running off of a basic install on a 1gb flash drive, mostly run out of room to add any other packages or updates. SATA drive is still unreadable, may end up needing to crack it open and set it up as a desktop drive to extract the data. If anyone has any time or ideas to help out I'd really appreciate it.

[moonman]

What did you do to make it unbootable?

[Oogbored]

While searching for a way to fix my mac issues I came across a tutorial on how to set the tables up to have the lights on the goflex blink when data was incoming, the ssh terminal crashed during the process and everything went down. It "boots" on its own to a solid green light but it isn't on the network no ip no ssh. With the flash drive I can get into the system, but the drive is still inacessible.

[Oogbored]

Essentially it is in the same state it was in when we were setting it up the first time to use the full 3tb and the system went down.

[Oogbored]

Looks like about 90 percent of the data on the drive is already backed up on my system. I can live with losing the rest. I don't really have anyway of directly accessing the main drive. Anyway to get the goflex to see it and reformat it; or see it at all?

[moonman]

Install gdisk if you didn't yet. Run "gdisk /dev/sda" and show what the output is.

Then press "p" and and post that here as well.

Then exit gdisk and run "fdisk -l" and show the result here as well.
