Hello, world!
I'm experimenting with Linux software RAID recovery. My target is to
be able to recover RAID 5 from individual drives without using the
Linux RAID tools - I mean mdadm and the others. I know it's not the
easiest way, but I *do* need to figure out a way to recover Linux
RAID using Windows... Sorry... ;)
What I'd like to know is how can I find where the actual RAID data
area starts on disks participating in a RAID 5 set. I know most of
the RAID configuration information is stored on all of the drives,
but I'm not geek enough to learn how it's stored from the RAID source
code.
I would appreciate it a lot if somebody could give me a hand here.
All I need to understand right now is how I can find out the first
sector of the actual RAID data. I'm starting with a simple
configuration, where there are three identical drives, all of them
used fully for one RAID 5 set. And no LVM at this point.
All comments and ideas are warmly welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Yours,
Jyri
