Hello, Here is the situation. I need to restore some old archive files that were on a raid 5 that was created with a very old Fedora distribution. The three disks were segmented into three partitions. Then a separate raid 5 was created for each of the partitions. After a few years the three raids were taken down and the disks were put in a closet. Recently, I found that I needed some data that was on the 3 raids. But I was only able to find two of the three raid 5 disks. The 3rd disk is gone forever. I mounted the two remaining disks and was able to get the files out of two of the three raids. But for the third raid, linux does not recognize one of the partitions on one of the disks as a raid partition. My question is it possible to repair the disk partition so that linux recognizes it as a raid 5 partition? thank you -- 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
