[ilugd] to get data from raid5 breaked hdd

2006-06-30 Thread rajnish kumar
Dear
 I have software raid 5 in my fc4 system due to some problem my raid
was faild. I remove the hdd from that system and plugin into another
without raid system and try to mount it like

mount -t fd /dev/hdd1 /mnt/mydir ( it gives error --> mount: unknown
filesystem type 'fd')
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/mydir( it givse error -- > wrong fs type, bad
option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd1)
mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/mydir ( it gives error --> mount: wrong fs type, bad
option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd1)dis
mount -f /dev/hdd1 /mnt/mydir ( from this cmd hdd is mount  and  on  df
-lh  it  showing  8gb  used  but  when i  am doing ls, it showing no  data)

If I am run the command fdisk -l then it shows

/dev/hdd1   1   30401   24419 6001   fd  Linux raid
autodetect

so plz tell how can mount this partition  as ext3 or how can we take data
from this raid formated hdd

with best wishes
rajnish

"man mdadm" is your friend here. You can hot add or spin down a raid
component using this command.

Since it is a raid drive I suspect you have to do something like:
mount /dev/md0 /mout/point

1. Do a 'cat /proc/mdstatus' and check whether md still thinks you have
two hard disk in the raid setup.
2. Assuming it shows three or more hard disk with one in failed status.
Run 'mdadm /dev/md0 -r /dev/hdd1' which should remove the failed device
from the RAID array.
3. Run 'mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/hdd1' which should add the new hard disk
back into the array.
4. Regularly check the output of 'cat /proc/mdstatus' to see the Raid
array being recreated. If possible try not to shutdown the server till
the array is recreated. Following command might be helpful 'watch -n 10
cat /proc/mdstatus'
5. RAID devices dont necessarily have a filesystem therefore you can't
mount the device/array itself. Assuming your filesystem didnt get wiped
out you should not have to mount anything. RAID will recover itself and
become healthy in the background without your intervention. Ofcourse
system performance would go for a toss meanwhile.

Do note I have made assumptions as to what your devices and raid setup
are. Check the man page to understand what options I have given and
their implications.
