RAID reconstruction process

RAID recovery run

The procedure is fully automated. Expect the following progress indications:

RAID5 parity check

Early into the process, ZAR checks if it needs to reconstruct a missing RAID5 member disk. This only appears if RAID5 was marked as the possible layout.

Scanning disks

During this stage all the array member disks are scanned and the fragments of the filesystem structures and data files identified. These fragments are then used to reconstruct the layout of the array.

Reading sequence numbers

During this stage objects marked as "worth attention" during scan are read again and processed.

Numerical computation in progress

This is displayed when a number-crunching is progressing to determine the stripe size and build hypothesis-tree tables for the next stage to use.

Detecting parameters [various layouts]

During this stage, different hypotheses are tried and their relevance measured.

Pay ZAR a compliment by asking great things of it.

ZA works! I downloaded and tried at least 16 other programs, but none recovered a single image. ZA saved 159 photos (all of the images on the card, as far as I can remember). My 512MB SD card was corrupted when I plugged it into a card reader to make a backup. [...] Every search turned up fewer "new" programs to try. Tonight I downloaded 4 "new" programs (3 of them didn't work....) ZA works! [...] won't recognize any drives -- unless I'm logged in as Administrator. An undocumented shortcoming.
