Thanks again for the help. I am struggling a bit with the intricacies of
this but am progressing a little I think.
I have not yet tried Russell's suggestion of purchasing two new 4TB
drives because of the expense but will go in that direction as a last
resort. I have copied the data onto 2TB drives which are the same size
and type as the originals. Not sure if that will achieve all that is
required.
I have been trying with mdadm to mount the drive but so far with no
success.
My mdadm.conf shows the drive:
# definitions of existing MD arrays
ARRAY /dev/md/2 metadata=1.2
UUID=b5f4346d:deb6f751:e69ac550:b0b961fe name=DiskStation:2
but when I try to mount the partition sda5 I get:
bob@Comp1:~$ sudo mount /dev/md2 /media/ntfs
mount: /media/ntfs: can't read superblock on /dev/md2.
bob@Comp1:~$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5]
[raid4] [raid10]
md2 : inactive sda5[0](S)
1948779840 blocks super 1.2
unused devices: <none>
Any further instructions or suggestions appreciated
Bob
