I don't use HW-RAID anywhere but if I was forced to, this would be one of the first things to determine, how to read it with software in case the card fails. > I can paste or gist the output of madam -E (304 lines) if it would help. I don't know if it would help, but paste everything you have anyhow. Is the data encrypted? If not - search for known file type headers (like a large jpeg or tar.gz, something larger than disks * chunksize), then look at the data on the other disks at the same offsets (grab a few megs of each disks), then try to deduce the layout and structure from that. Basically use known data to reverse-engineer the layout if you currently know nothing about disk orders, chunk sizes, etc. Regards Andreas Klauer -- 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
