EVE-Files is running on a mirror less at the moment. Yesterday evening upon rebooting one of the mirrors I was kindly presented with the message "Invalid System disk replace the disk and press any key".
Upon restarting it with diagnostic tools there was no disks available. The only disk around was a nice unallocated 500GB RAID - which is exactly what things used to run on
So today, we're running one mirror less while I recover the lost data. It seems that someone or something decided to nerf the FAT and boot sectors of the array. Thus so far I've had no trouble extracting the data to a backup drive.
Weather or not I will be able to simply copy everything back and write a new MBR is yet to see. I started around 5.30 this morning and it still hasn't recovered all data, so I expect it to take a while longer.
I could of course reinstall and simply copying the data from the primary server, that however would foce me to either shut down EVE-Files for about 12 hours or have you bothered with 1KiB/s for the next 3 days
But hopefully you will not even notice this mirror death and keep stealing my bandwidth that you so happily do every day
Keep up the good work fellow poddy piwlotz.

If I remember right there are copies of the FAT and the boot sector in or around the last two physical sectors of the disk.
Mind you if you are already extracting the data I guess you know this.
/edit/
Still wrong. The backup copy of the FAT is directly after the primary. The backup bootsector is identified at offset 32 in the primary boot sector, which obviously you don't have. I think it's the last sector of the disk though.

I agree, although if you break a mirror you are supposed to get 7 years' BAD luck are you not?
