Raid Data Rec

A customer's LaCie 2big Network 2 NAS Raid 1 server crashed due to a power spike. Both of the server's Seagate hard drives failed and would not mount. The data recovery company took the server and was able to recover the data by unbricking one of the hard drives, installing it on a new system with Ubuntu and mdadm installed, starting the hard drive in degraded mode to access the raid array, and changing ownership of the files so they could be copied off the array.
