[QUOTE="Socket, post: 1521757, member: 304652"] [b]Possible Solution[/b] I had the same problem and created an account here to share my solution. The spotlight solution above did not work for me. The only solution I found was that although my data on my external hard drives that had been in a mirrored RAID array was corrupt with Mac OSX, but I was able to plug the drives into a Linux machine and save all of my data (by moving it all over to other disks), then reformatting the broken drives for Mac OSX through the Linux machine and then moving all of my data back onto the drives and resetting up the RAID array. Although I tested with a Linux machine, I did find that an Ubuntu LiveCD could be used in my mac as well. I could recover my data on my own mac! I just had to use Ubuntu! When I recreated the RAID I used a 128 kB block size, I believe the 256 kB block size caused the problem. Just sharing this in case it can help anyone else, as I lost 5 TB of data and spent months trying to recover it - this was my solution. [/QUOTE]
