Hi
I have a problem with a dead datastore, and I hope that somebody (continuum)can help.
The datastore was on a raid1 device, where one disc is dead, and the other can’t get mounted anymore.
Vmware ESXI can see the partitions, but won’t mount and same goes for vmfs-fuse, which gives me the following error below.
root@ubuntu:/tmp vmfs-fuse /dev/sdb3 /mnt/vmfs/
VMFS VolInfo: invalid magic number 0x00000000
VMFS: Unable to read volume information
Trying to find partitions
Unable to open device/file "/dev/sdb3".
Unable to open filesystem
The disclayout:
Disk /dev/sdb: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00099578

/dev/sdb1 3889451008 3907028991 17577984 8.4G fd Linux raid autodetect

/dev/sdb3 194560 3889451007 3889256448 1.8T fd Linux raid autodetect
Partition table entries are not in disk order.
Data is still on the disc, I can see it with diskinternals vmfs recovery, but it's way to expensive for me.
Please help me,
TIA
