You are definitely on the right lines. I am trying to read RAID data structures written by a hardware RAID controller, with Linux software RAID. The Promise SuperTrak Sx6000 is the card in question. I mention the Mylex, because someone else has done it, which confirms the possibility. I am grateful for your comments. So far I have not heard of any direct way of doing what I want, but i have had some excellent advice from the list, and the outcome, whilst is dubious character, is far, far better than it first appeared.
