Hilfe! ( help ) I own two maxtor 5400rpm 120G drives where one of them had an electronics failure.. So all of the data is still there and intact, but i can't put together my raid0 array any more.. The data on it is somewhat valuable. If there is a slim possibility to resuce it, i would very much like to do so. The drive just went "clickety-click" in a matter of seconds with no previous warnings of failure.. methinks its a "cold" soldering-joint somewhere that finally gave up on me... I do constantly monitor the drives with smart.. ( although that is no excuse for keeping the data in raid0.. beeing a poor student is.. ) The drive in question isn't manufactured any more so i can't get hold of a spare and do a transfer ( dd ) with the drive electronics that is currently still working. And I dare not send it off to maxtor for repair, its a 3 yr warranty.. Since they might just replace the drive and send me a new one.. rendering my attempts for rescue null and void.. So my question is.. how do the software-raid in linux react to a transfer of data to a completely new drive of a different brand.. ( if it fits sizewise. )? Will it puke on me or are there any other tricks that i can use? Any help is greatly appreciated.
