I hope I can use the md code to solve a problem, although in a way
probably not envisioned by the author(s).
I have a disk image, a physical dump of every sector from start to
finish, including the partition table. What I hope I can do is to create
a one drive RAID-1 partitionable array, and then access it with fdisk or
similar. These partitions are not "nice" types such as FAT, VFAT, ext2,
etc, this is an odd disk, and I "saved it" by saving everything. Now I'd
like to start dismembering the information and putting it into useful
pieces. I even dare to hope that I could get the original software
running on a virtual machine at some point.
The other alternative is to loopback mount it, I'm somewhat reluctant to
do that if I can avoid it.
Yes, the partition table is standard in format if not in content.
