I'm struggling to mount a HDD from a Synology DS214 RAID1 on my computer to backup some data from it.
I can't mount directly because this HDD come from a raid
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
So i installed mdadm on my computer (Debian Buster) and --force assemblage
mdadm --assemble --run --force /dev/md/2 /dev/sda1
mdadm: failed to add /dev/sda1 to /dev/md/2: Invalid argument
mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md0: Invalid argument
dmesg :
md: sda1 does not have a valid v1.2 superblock, not importing!
md: md_import_device returned -22
md: md2 stopped.
I tried :
mdadm --assemble /dev/md/2 /dev/sda1 --update=summaries --force
mdadm: --update=summaries not understood for 1.x metadata
and :
mdadm -A --update=name /dev/md/2
mdadm: failed to add /dev/sda1 to /dev/md/2: Invalid argument
mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md/2: Invalid argument
I'm not sure what to do now, i'm a little bit scared to do a rookie mistake, so i looking for help
Thanks in the first place !
