Need to start at beginning setting aside cloning for the moment.You are not communicating with the Lacie - start at the beginning. I have never done this and we don't support how to do it, but that page I linked to is your best bet I think to get the OS back on any drives. ![]() Yes formatting it wipes the OS off the drive, you might be able to reinstall the OS on the drives or the other ones you are trying to use with instructions on this page and the GPL code. I thought that the OS was stored to a hardware memory rather on disk that way if something goes wrong with the HDDs, you just replace them. So that means the whole hardware is destroyed? how can i re-build it? is there a way to re-format the drives in that FileSystem and somehow re-install the OS? Sorry for asking you this, but, is this an efficient way to build something? I mean HDDs are common to mulfunction, so in this case the the whole hardware is destroyed? there must be a way to rebuild the whole thing. Ok.but as i already told you i formatted both disks. So you can't replace the drives in the unit. ![]() Unfortunately the OS is stored on the drives you took out so you need them to get the unit to work. Thank you for contacting LaCie Technical Support. Is there a way i could reset the hardware? Is there a tip you could tell me to get my NAS back working? Does it work with specific HDD models (Hitachi)/capacity? Regards. I didnt try to put the original HDDs back on because i had already format them. But it didnt! It wouldnt even recognized the HDDs, plus, i couldnt even logon to to the web management console. I placed two 500GB HDDs with the hope that the NAS hardware would create the appropriate RAID configuration and format to the appropriate file system. Now from what I've known the configuration of disks was a RAID0 XFS file system. Recently I opened the chassis to remove both (1TB) HDDs and replace them with a smaller ones. I have a problem concerning the Ethernet Big Disk (2TB). Actually im pasting the conversation i had with lacie support here. I already contacted lacie but didnt provide me much help on this. I know theres a software called Acronis True Image which is bootable and also can support the XFS filesystem.īut before doing anything id like to get some opinions first. Has anyone done this and did it work? If it worked what was the procedure of cloning and what software did you use? I thought of cloning both HDDs with 2 smaller ones but im not sure if that would work. I still have the original 2 HDDs working fine but i still want to replace them with some smaller ones. Ive seen some posts over here that some of you have managed to re-build other lacie models but i guess the process is the same for all. I know that the OS is linux based which i donno much on it, i also found some GPL source codes from lacie's website for how to build the whole thing from scratch but i guess only these guys can understand how to do it. In that case the whole hardware goes down and even if you replace the HDDs, the hardware would not startup because as i told you earlier the OS resides on the HDDs rather on hardware. HDDs in general are common to malfunction and its very common something goes bad with them, especially when its RAID 0 with no redundancy whatsoever. I guess this is how lacie builds their products which its NOT efficient whatsoever. Unfortunately, for some reason the OS resides on disk rather on firmware hardware. When i replaced them, i was hoping that the hardware would recognizse the 2 HDDs and re-build the RAID and format to the appropriate filesystem. Recently i tried to replace the HDDs with 2 smaller ones. ![]() (The product is now restoring itself to its factory defaults.My lacie consists of 2 HDDs (1TB each) RAID0 XFS filesystem.
