James,
A single disk from a Linux Software RAID 1 Mirror (using MD) should
readable in another system so long as you also running MD on that
system. You'll just need to import that disk as a new array on the
second system; there is a flag to indicate that the second drive in
the array is missing and can be added later.

Hi List,
Been searching for a while for an answer to this, and have started
experimenting with a fresh install, but not found a way yet.
Basically I'm building a small home server, primarily to act as a
file store. It's got a drive for the OS, and 2 further drives which
I wish to set up in a RAID 1 array to use for the store. All the
info I've managed to find so far to do with recovery from this is
when just a drive in the array fails, however I'm also concerned
about the box as a whole, and I'd like to know if it's possible to
take a single drive from the array, put it into another machine and
be able to read from it? Eg just as a normal ext3 partition etc?
That's it... very simple - but I've not found the answer yet!
Thanks,
James.
