You said it was 'linear', but the boot log showed 'raid0'. The drives didn't have a partition table on them, yet it is clear from the old boot log that the did. Are you sure they are the same drives, 'cause it doesn't seem like it. You could try hunting for ext3 superblocks on the device. There might be an easier way but od -x /dev/hdb | grep '^.....60 .... .... .... .... ef53 ' should find them. Once you have this information we might be able to make something work. But I feel the chances are dwindling. NeilBrown _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
