here is my problem: I have a 5disk (Seagate 2To) RAID5 working with a NAS LaCie 5big. Each disk is still working but the NAS device has failed and it refuses to boot with HDD inside (LaCie helpdesk don't want to help me). And I badly need to recover my data from my RAID. I don't how to do. I've connected my disk to my PC, each of them is recognized but then ... I'm lost. I know the order of the drives in the RAID, but that's all, I 'don't know the format, of the way the RAID was managed by LaCie and can't find information about that in Help/manual provided by LaCie.
*LaCie device failure
*5 out of 5 drives working
*format unkown

Okay according to those threads :

I guess few step are missing I'll keep on looking for a workaround and edit this answer
