Hello i have following Problem. Unfortunately through a power loss all superblocks of my RAID were destroyed. My setup 8 x 1TB in a RAID 6 3 x 2TB in a RAID 5 The crucial data are on both of these arrays. After googling a while i recognized that several users encountered that problem. Most of them were able to restore their arrays by creating the array again with excatly the same parameters mdadm --create ..... i tried that with the 3 x 2TB Array. Unfortunately after that cryptsetup luksOpen tels me "md5 is no valid luks device". Then I had a look on the fist bytes of the array. Unfortunately it dose seem to be crap and no luks header. I unfortunately do not have a luks-header backup of this array. I do have a backup of the luks header of the 8 x 1 TB array. Bevore i Try the same with the 8 x 1 TB Array i would like to make deadly sure there are no other options. Maby someone can Help me Here some information that might be helpful: Hexdump of the 3x 2TB Array 00000000 30 af 62 61 58 4f 88 1a a4 d2 2f ed d6 c0 98 c3 |0.baXO..../.....| 00000010 1d 46 54 5f 12 38 d1 db b5 56 77 42 fb 2d df db |.FT_.8...VwB.-..| 00000020 88 6c 45 8d 2e 0c e8 39 62 88 2c b7 d1 c7 84 eb |.lE....9b.,.....| 00000030 90 25 b6 3f 0d 4c 2b 9a 38 ee 27 5a 4a 6b 75 1a |.%.?.L+.8.'ZJku.| 00000040 34 c3 58 fb 24 d1 b5 c8 ee ee ee 96 88 9a 41 c3 |4.X.$.........A.| 00000050 c8 ab c1 27 3f 78 5c 06 8b 1c cc 1b f1 95 5c ba |...'?x\.......\.| 00000060 8c ce 11 e8 ba e0 8c 90 ca 5e 41 a0 d3 de 3c 4d |.........^A...<M| 00000070 4c 5d 0d 4f cc ab 06 f1 89 d2 06 04 60 29 90 da |L].O........`)..| 00000080 3d 38 50 e6 72 81 8b 18 89 92 8b 22 90 e4 e6 3c |=8P.r......"...<| 00000090 dd 66 23 8f f1 08 94 38 34 20 98 3f a9 16 9f 22 |.f#....84 .?..."| 000000a0 a8 93 10 03 8f 6b 33 47 4e 31 e7 e9 e5 c3 85 87 |.....k3GN1......| 000000b0 70 76 2b 68 e0 29 31 34 ee b2 e6 d9 5b be c7 96 |pv+h.)14....[...| 000000c0 9d 2b 33 c1 7f 96 0b 7f f8 7e 05 0e 85 51 de ce |.+3......~...Q..| 000000d0 e7 08 3e c4 c0 0e bc 43 05 74 41 ff e3 af e0 ab |..>....C.tA.....| 000000e0 7d ce 5a 3d dd 88 d6 bb b1 88 fa 85 bd 65 73 57 |}.Z=.........esW| 000000f0 f7 7c 8d 5e 37 9a 69 10 2e 30 84 a7 c6 21 72 2c |.|.^7.i..0...!r,| 00000100 51 46 80 31 79 c2 0a ec 08 04 12 a7 a6 7b 4d 3e |QF.1y........{M>| 00000110 b3 bc f7 db 20 f8 ad b6 58 c8 52 23 b9 3d 96 de |.... ...X.R#.=..| 00000120 6c 6d c2 2a 8a 5d ec 3c 7c 8b d5 4f ca b8 75 5f |lm.*.].<|..O..u_| 00000130 ef b1 2c 55 cb 6a c5 f9 2f fa e9 18 fa 42 7f 32 |..,U.j../....B.2| 00000140 ed e7 4a 40 71 67 c3 30 b3 e8 a0 a4 4f 46 98 59 |..J@xxxxxxxxxx.Y| 00000150 43 50 74 f1 b5 42 e9 bd 90 57 59 67 fc 77 e0 d6 |CPt..B...WYg.w..| 00000160 6e c5 40 56 9f 06 4d d0 e8 32 b3 2c 73 ec a1 db |n.@V..M..2.,s...| 00000170 cd d7 80 31 01 04 b2 ac 4e 3e fa ee cf a2 6a df |...1....N>....j.| 00000180 8f 74 e3 4f 8f 4a 08 8f df 75 fe 0b 35 d9 73 32 |.t.O.J...u..5.s2| 00000190 37 e7 d2 71 95 b6 c4 43 f5 db cd 09 d1 ab 12 02 |7..q...C........| 000001a0 bd 8f 8e 2d b0 71 6a b8 ba cf d4 44 7c 0a 34 13 |...-.qj....D|.4.| 000001b0 ee 1f ec e1 c1 46 14 2c 66 94 a0 a5 7e a4 fe 0a |.....F.,f...~...| 000001c0 d7 9e 0d 9c 40 a6 57 49 f4 a0 4b b0 79 87 0b 03 |....@.WI..K.y...| 000001d0 29 34 cc 79 1d 42 60 93 bc d0 e2 8d a3 20 f1 28 |)4.y.B`...... .(| 000001e0 56 3d a8 a1 43 c4 fc b7 e6 8e 2c 07 f4 d3 73 01 |V=..C.....,...s.| 000001f0 c4 49 1a 08 10 ac 25 0e 31 91 d2 a7 3e 85 f6 be |.I....%.1...>...| 00000200 cb e8 5f ec 1c 69 23 92 c3 84 43 aa 38 58 25 ef |.._..i#...C.8X%.| 00000210 19 90 e9 86 7a ab 47 62 f9 7b 1a 2e 09 9f 70 f5 |....z.Gb.{....p.| 00000220 0a 67 9f d2 01 db ce 07 40 86 7c c4 7e cf 61 7f |.g......@.|.~.a.| 00000230 0e df a7 44 61 dc c5 56 f7 e1 14 8c 01 8e a8 0d |...Da..V........| 00000240 eb 5b 35 70 45 16 60 be 85 ce 57 9a 09 b1 82 fd |.[5pE.`...W.....| 00000250 9d 59 41 00 79 fd c0 3e e5 18 18 4f 33 9c ee 22 |.YA.y..>...O3.."| 00000260 f4 2b ff 06 b2 fe 9c 0a 88 01 e6 a4 fd d5 35 01 |.+............5.| 00000270 3e dd 31 84 55 5d 71 9b 73 57 94 46 72 7d c9 c0 |>.1.U]q.sW.Fr}..| mdadm -D /dev/md5 /dev/md5: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Sat May 5 01:30:36 2012 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 3907021568 (3726.03 GiB 4000.79 GB) Used Dev Size : 1953510784 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 3 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Sun May 6 07:16:52 2012 State : clean Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 128K Name : stonith:5 (local to host stonith) UUID : ea42de9b:87279279:b278cefd:4686698b Events : 21 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 17 0 active sync /dev/sdb1 1 8 49 1 active sync /dev/sdd1 3 8 65 2 active sync /dev/sde1 mdadm -E all devices /dev/sdb: MBR Magic : aa55 Partition[0] : 3907024002 sectors at 63 (type fd) /dev/sdb1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : ea42de9b:87279279:b278cefd:4686698b Name : stonith:5 (local to host stonith) Creation Time : Sat May 5 01:30:36 2012 Raid Level : raid5 Raid Devices : 3 Avail Dev Size : 3907021954 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB) Array Size : 7814043136 (3726.03 GiB 4000.79 GB) Used Dev Size : 3907021568 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB) Data Offset : 2048 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 38cca227:a2b01df0:a4f71bd4:26fc69ab Update Time : Sun May 6 07:16:52 2012 Checksum : f843636c -
