If the array uses 0.90 or 1.0 metadata, then having stopped the array you can simply mount the component devices If it uses 1.1 or 1.2 you can only access the data via md. The version is listed at the top of "mdadm --examine /dev/sdXX" or "mdadm --detail /dev/md0" output. NeilBrown > > Any help will be appreciated.
