Question mounting existing drive with data


I am fairly new to linux and am trying to set up a home server. I have suse linux 9.3 installed. I had everything running with two 80GB drives connected in a raid. My boot drive died and I had to reinstall linux from scratch. I want to remount the exisiting raid drives without losing the data on them. Initially I had them mounted as /home. I am afraid if I'm trying to mount the drives I will lose all the data :-(
Is it possible to integrate the exisiting raid into a working system?

depends on, which raid level you have used.

I'm using a raid level 1, just mirroring the two drives

Sort out the defective device and mount the other "normal" (not as raid).

you mean I can take any of the two drives now and mount it again? does it need to be the same mount point? reinstalling linux gave me a /home on one of the other drives already. do i have to get rid of that one first? du kannst übrigens auch in deutsch schreiben wenn du willst.

Einfach die Festplatte, auf der die Daten noch vorhanden sind, mounten. Mountpunkte einfach erzeugen, um an die Daten heranzukommen.
Man kann auch das Raidsystem bei Raid1 mit nur einer Festplatte weiterlaufen lassen. Dann eine weitere Festplatte genauso wie die noch vorhandene Festplatte partitionieren und formatieren. Dann ein Raidhotadd durchführen und schon ist das Raidsystem wieder komplett.
