Re: recover data from linear raid

As Christian said, specific error message help a lot.
Assume the two devices are hdc and hde,

 fdisk -l /dev/hdc
 fdisk -l /dev/hde
 mdadm -E /dev/hdc
 mdadm -E /dev/hde

and my best guess

  mdadm --build /dev/md0 --level linear --raid-disks 2 /dev/hdc /dev/hde
  fsck -n /dev/md0

(and linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx might be a better mailing list for
this particular sort of problem).

Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/md0

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

fsck -b 8193 /dev/md0
fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2

    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>


During a recovery attemp today by mistake I created a mirror array with hdb as the primary and hdc as the secondary. I interrupted the array creation almost immediately, but part of the hdc was overwritten. However the array never held more than 70 gbytes of data, so I hope everything is intact on hdb :/


	Thank you all for your kind help:)
