mounting existing mirror in new installation
Hi all,
I am new to this forum and this site.. Hope I do well. Yesterday, I lost my boot drive on an old readhat 8 machine I have home. MY data was on a mirror on two seperate drive. Now I am trying to mount that mirror but I don't have any luck. Here's some info about /dev/md0 mdadm --detail --scan ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=45e17d10:10cb40b2:e3a34893:65826590 devices=/dev/hdc1,/dev/hdd1 cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 hdd1[1] hdc1[0] 9020352 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> When I try to mount /dev/md0 I got this: mount /dev/md0 /mnt/data/ mount: /dev/md0: can't read superblock And /var/log/messages show this Mar 26 07:43:14 localhost kernel: FAT: Did not find valid FSINFO signature. Mar 26 07:43:14 localhost kernel: Found signature1 0x00000000 signature2 0x00000000 (sector = 1) Mar 26 07:43:14 localhost kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev md0) Mar 26 07:43:14 localhost kernel: invalid access to FAT (entry 0x0e94871b) Mar 26 07:43:14 localhost kernel: File system has been set read-only I have read howto's and groups and manpages for the last 6 hours and still does not have a clue what to do. I would love not to lose my data. Since this seems to be a FAT system, maybe there a way to read it and I could rebuild the mirror after. Any suggestions from linux gurus would be appreciated.

Again, I am in the dark here.... Any suggestions Thanks, Simon |
Solved
OK, I think I was too tired to see the obvious, or was trying to find problem when there was none... I forgot to mount with"-t ext3". By not mounting with -t ext3, I was misleaded into weird problem solving, thinking that fedora C3 was different that redhat 8.
My data is back. Simon |
