Hello,
I had created a raid 5 array on 3 232GB SATA drives. I had created one
partition (for /home) formatted with either xfs or reiserfs (I do not
recall).
Last week I reinstalled my box from scratch with Ubuntu 7.10, with mdadm
v. 2.6.2-1ubuntu2.
Then I made a rookie mistake: I --create instead of --assemble. The
recovery completed. I then stopped the array, realizing the mistake.
1. Please make the warning more descriptive: ALL DATA WILL BE LOST, when
attempting to created an array over an existing one.
2. Do you know of any way to recover from this mistake? Or at least what
filesystem it was formated with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have hundreds of family digital
pictures and videos that are irreplaceable.
Thank you in advance,
Dragos
