Raid recovery after initialization?

Question

RAID

Good afternoon.
There was a raid 10, they replaced the failed disk and pressed lsi in the BIOS to initialize the array, after which, of course, the logical volume disappeared.
Is it possible to restore the raid structure or at least the information in the form of folders?

Answer 1

You definitely chose "initialize", if yes, then I sympathize, take disks and feed them to R-studio or similar (RAID reconstruktor). In such cases, you need a "rebuild", not an "init", which creates the array again

Answer 2

I had a similar case. r-studio solved the issue, but it's all time-time-time. + you need additional hard where to merge the file. and in the future, reinstall the server,
well, it can be for the better, there is a chance to redo what you didn’t like

Answer 3

init probably erased all the info
try with software to restore raids but it probably died

Answer 4

It all depends very much on the specific situation. But, in general, reinitialized arrays are quite recoverable. The problem is similar to cases with reformatted partitions.
Recommendations NOT to a data recovery specialist:
Why it makes sense to turn to specialists:

1. There are chances to revive a failed drive. This can improve the quality of the result.
   
2. Good specialists have different data recovery tools and experience in using them correctly. If some program did not help, this does not mean that the data is lost.
