Mounting Promise RAID0 w/ Linux software RAID

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
