Hello,
I've very strange troubles with 3ware 8006 RAID controllers using Maxtor
hard disks (maybe because of that ?).
It's the fourth problem I have with 3ware RAID using Maxtor HD !
(4 workstations on 12 that have troubles like this, that's a lot, isn't
it ?)
I got some file corruption errors under Windows on one workstation,
"Incomplete drive" status reported by the RAID controller (just after
the reboot) on another workstation running linux where I lost months of
data because the RAID controller shows the the host drive in June's
state !! Yes, it sounds amazing, but it's true :(
So, I would like to read this "incomplete" hard disk that 3ware RAID
controller can't do anything of it (except erasing it).
I tried to connect this hard disk to the standard serial ATA port of the
motherboard. But, I can't see any partition on it, because of a Data
disk format used by the RAID controller...
3ware told me to use some specific windows tool to recover it, but these
tools only works for ext2 filesystem and I have reiserfs.
Does anyone know how to read the hard disk ?
I supposed they just use some blocks to store meta-informations at the
beginning of the hard disk or something like that.
So, maybe with a good ofset, I would be able to read the filesystem...
Any linux tool to do that ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
