Hi,
I am trying to recover data from a stripe set (RAID0) that was written using the sort-RAID functions of a Promise UDMA-133 Fasttrak controller. The mainboard with that controller has died, and I don't have another one around to try to run the discs on!
I've been able to start and mount the array, but I think I'm only getting the first stripe or something that's on the first disc.
I know the stripe size had been 64kb and there were two discs in the array. The first disc has a proper partition table, but it's for the full array, as would be on a Linux md device. I'm having trouble figuring how I would even try to specify this...
Does anyone happen to have any suggestions on this one? I don't want to have the scrap the data, or buy another piece of hardware with one of those controllers on it!
Here's the partition tables:
Disk /dev/hdl: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdl1 * 1 29893 240115491 7 HPFS/NTFS
Disk /dev/hdj: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 238216 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Disk /dev/hdj doesn't contain a valid partition table
And here's the raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md2 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 2 persistent-superblock 0 chunk-size 64
device /dev/hdl1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdj raid-disk 1 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
