Recover Data from failed Netgear STORA MS2110 NAS

  • The NETGEAR MS2110-1000NAS failed
  • It would only power on but disks would not sync
  • Attempts to forcefully reset it did not work

Below are the steps used to successfully access the data using 1 of the hard disks. This device appears to use a software RAID configuration and the data is formatted using the Linux XFS file system.

The basic idea is to have a desktop PC running linux, such as 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) or CentOS6 which supports the XFS file system. Power it off, and attach the STORA hard disk as a secondary drive (it uses a SATA connection). Linux should recognize the hard drive and using the steps below will mount the drive. Then the data can be copied off the drive, or rsync'd to a remote machine.

# cat /proc/mdstat

The result shows what the active RAID1 device is, for example "md127"
