Search for the following thread(s) and read them: Please help RAID1 complete fail no superblock 22/11/16 RAID10 with 2 drives auto-assembled as RAID1 05/11/16 Dates are DMY European format. You want to hexdump the likely disk locations and try and find partition superblocks, raid superblocks, etc etc. If you can find anything like that and post it to the list, then the experts can chime in and help you get it back. There's probably a few more threads like that, but those are the ones I've just found.
