Hi there.. Long time lurker here... I have a RH 7.3 system that had a fully functioning linear raid array. When I originally installed the system, I put the /usr, /var, /tmp, /bin, etc, directories on different drives in order to balance the load a bit. The problem is that the drive that had /usr, /var and /tmp on it died a horrible nasty death. The data was unrecoverable. Since it now appears that I will have to reinstall and reconfigure everything, my question is how can I rebuild the linear raid without destroying the data? IIRC, when you do mkraid it resynchronizes the disks, destroying the data. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but I've been a bad boy and neglected my backups. Any ideas?
