This could be done in many places in pi at once, so it would be very efficient, and you could have multiple threads searching for the first bit and firing off multiple sub-threads which would search for the following bits. Once it's found, you send a signal to the main thread which stops all the sub-threads and returns the index of the file in pi. :D This is why you don't throw this kind of joke at a logical thinking person.

It's unacceptable for them, that you can hold all their hollywood movies and music in pi! I'm perfectly sure, that even calculating Pi in Your mind is going to be prohibited - what if You, accidentally, calculate patented file extension (just 3 characters!)? /Estel Well, I’m pretty sure that Digital Mafia’s will try to ban raspberry pi fs.

The RAID is handled by a closed source promise kernel driver. To have any chance of recovering it, you'd probably need a promise adapter for your PC that worked with the driver (and note that the driver on the NS4300N was a newer version than the one available on their website last time I checked).

I need to mount the drives in a linux box and copy off the data 'cause the NAS is burned. In linux the drives sounds healthy, but I can't figure out how to mount the raid 5 and the volume. Is it EXT3, 4, XFS? Is it LMV or LMV2 on top of and md device? Thank you for any tip. Robert Do any of you know which file system and which partitioning and volume scheme is on the NS4300N?
