NAS520: Restore access to lost volume/disk 1 [SOLVED]

I have lost access to volume 1/disk 1/sysvol. I can logon to the NAS520 and when I choose "Storage Manager" it tells me that there is "No Storage" on the internal volume (external drives are not connected). Obviously, I can create a new volume but this will erase all data on the HDD will be lost.
However, when I click on other icons in the webgui, everything that is on the HDD is visible/present.

What kind of RAID Type you used? Is there any screenshots?
When you used File Browser of NAS520 or CIFS or FTP or ..., do you able to access your data?
If yes, I suggest you to backup your data first.

It is only 1 HDD. JBOD structure and that is to my knowledge just a plain ext4 drive.The status is LOST, internal HDD, and can't access the data because the volume doesn't exist (not recognized). I have to create a new volume but that will format the drive and all data will be lost.
With MiniTools Partition Manager the HDD (note: I have changed some partitions from primary to logical)
When I hook up the drive as an external drive I can access the drive content. The 'main partition' [with all my files, etc.] and the 'system partition' (which contains a system.img).
The file structure:
I'm able to access the drive content when the HDD is mounted as an external drive (USB1) but I can't when the drive is an internal drive, as the drive is not mounted or not recognized as a valid volume.If only I could fix the mounting of the internal HDD. Theoretically, the NAS should be functioning just fine.I can connect to the NAS over telnet/SSH but only have access to the ram drive.

Why? In that case the disk is no longer recognized as internal disk. At boot this script is run to check if it's a valid internal disk:
<p>#action: check is legal disk partition format<br># 1. check in internal disk<br># 2. check disk partition number<br># 3. check FW size<br># 4. check swap size<br>CheckInternalDiskFormat()<br>{<br> sdx=$1<br> IsInternDisk="`${INTERN_DISK_CHKER} -c ${sdx}`"<br> if [ "${IsInternDisk}" != "yes" ]; then<br> return ${FAIL}<br> fi<br><br> numOfDiskPart=`${LS} -d /sys/block/${sdx}/${sdx}? | ${WC} -l`<br> if [ ${numOfDiskPart} != ${LEGAL_DISK_PARTITION_NUM} ]; then<br> return ${FAIL}<br> fi<br><br> sdx1Siz=`${CAT} /sys/block/${sdx}/${sdx}1/size`<br> if [ ${sdx1Siz} != ${LEGAL_FW_SIZ} ]; then<br><br> return ${FAIL}<br> fi<br><br> sdx2Siz=`${CAT} /sys/block/${sdx}/${sdx}2/size`<br> if [ ${sdx2Siz} != ${LEGAL_SWAP_SIZ} ]; then<br> return ${FAIL}<br> fi<br><br> return ${SUCCESS}<br>}<br></p>It checks partitions 1 and 2 for their sizes. A problem is that the primary partitions are numbered 1..4, while the logical partitions are numbered 5... . So this disk is no longer valid. Can you change that back?

I can change the partitions back from logical to primary with MiniTool Partition manager.After changing it, the HDD is still not recognized as an internal HDD/Volume.

Hm. That didn't work out as intended. Somehow the size of the partition 1 changed by converting to logical and back, and somehow your 2nd partition is lost.
/dev/sda1 4096 3999615 3995520 1.9G 83 Linux
The script wants another size:LEGAL_FW_SIZ=3997696 #2047MB using parted created<br>LEGAL_SWAP_SIZ=3999744 #2048MB using parted created<br>
and indeed my 520 has this sizes:<div>Device Start End Sectors Size Type<br>/dev/sda1 2048 3999743 3997696 1.9G Linux RAID<br>/dev/sda2 3999744 7999487 3999744 1.9G Linux RAID<br>/dev/sda3 7999488 1953523711 1945524224 927.7G Linux RAID<br></div>
Have you run some partition seek tool on this disk? It is striking that my 1st partition starts on sector 2048, while yours start on 4096. But mine has a raid array header of 2048 sectors, and the datasize of the array is 3995520, which exactly matches your partition size.
So a tool searching for filesystems could have done this. Device Role : Active device 0<br> Array State : A.

You have only 2 partitions here. Sda1 is an extended partition, which contains one logical partition sda5. You can see that on their start- and end sectors. And sda2 is a primary partition, containing your data. (Somehow, I hope).Let's have a look if a raid header can be found at sectors 2048 and 7999488, which is where they should be, according to my partition table.Create a loopdevice at the given offset of sda, and let mdadm have a look at it:<div>losetup -o 2097152 /dev/loop1 /dev/sda</div><div><br></div><div>mdadm --examine /dev/loop1</div><div><br></div><div>losetup -d /dev/loop1</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>losetup -o 4095737856 /dev/loop1 /dev/sda</div><div><br></div><div>mdadm --examine /dev/loop1</div><div><br></div><div>losetup -d /dev/loop1</div><div></div></div>
Are Zyxel NASes formatted as ext2 or ext4?The 520 ext4. Older ones used ext3, xfs or reiserfs.I don't know how to clone partition table, be I would give it a try.That is the next step.
