There are two possibilities as far as I can see: 1. it is a raid 1 array so you might try creating it as raid 1 with a drive missing and seeing if there's a valid filesystem there. don't know if this will destroy useful data though. 2. you only think you had a raid1 array, in which case you're probably screwed as the data would be interleved between the two drives. -- "Police noticed some rustling sounds from Linn's bottom area and on closer inspection a roll of cash was found protruding from Linn's anus, the full amount of cash taken in the robbery." - http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/robber-hides-loot-up-his-booty/2008/05/09/1210131248617.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
