Hi everyone, We've recently ordered connectome in a box and have been having some trouble accessing the data on the disks. The disks did not appear to have valid partition tables on them which could be recognized by our linux servers, and I was wondering if I could get some details from anybody who might know more regarding the partition scheme (GPT?), and how data is configured across the 5 disks.
We've installed them in our RAID array and tried to bring them online as individual disks using a trivial raid 0 configuration (since raid 0 on a single disk should just be the same as a non-raid configuration). The disks became visible to our operating system but no partitions were detected (i.e. we can see /dev/sdc but not /dev/sdc1 for instance). Various disk partition management tools (fdisk, gdisk, parted, gparted) all complain about corrupted or invalid partition tables, and this has all been the case for both of the two disks I've tried of the five. If anybody else has had similar experiences or has any useful information to share I'd appreciate it. All I've found on the connectome website are instructions to hand this to our IT person (me, in this case) and that the drives are formatted with EXT3, neither of which have helped.
