I had too many subdirectories and I had to go one by one.
After a while, I realized this was not working. As a last resort, I started recovering my files folder by folder (this HD had a complex directory structure). I could not recover any folder that contained sub-folders, R-Linux would not allow it because the folders had the wrong permissions. The problem is that folders themselves were unreadable when I recovered them. No big issue, since I could manually change the permissions (I used an app called BatChmod- to change permissions). Doing a recovery using R-Linux looked promising… but there was a problem. It ran, and I could see my WD drive with all the files. Since VMWare Fusion allows a 30 day trial, I downloaded it, and created a Linux VM.
BATCHMOD PERMISSIONS MAC OS
It runs on Windows and Linux, but I’m currently running Mac OS (don’t have a Windows machine on hand). I found out about R-Linux in an older thread, and it had worked for most people.
I wanted to recover them if possible, and I ended up here in the forums. My WD NAS wouldn’t boot after a power outage (steady yellow light), and although I didn’t have any critical data in there, I had some large files that were not yet uploaded to my offsite backup. You’ll need some Linux proficiency, but this might prove useful. If your situation is similar to mine, this might help. Though I’d contribute the missing piece in my scenario. This thread (special thanks to Ewald for mentioning the Linux e2tools) along with the old thread that’s around (mentioning R-Linux) helped me recover my data from my WD NAS drive.
