Recovering from Raid5 failure


Hi,

I've been trying to recover from my Raid5 software raid failing - I don't have much experience with data recovery in linux, so I turn to you guys.

Currently I'm at this stage:
I stopped the raid-array and assembled a new one (on three different disks)
I have made an iso using ddrescue, from one of the original raid disks.

And this is where I need your help, how would I go about mounting it?
I've tried 'mount', but it informs me that it's impossible due to the iso being a Linux_Raid format.
I've tried FuriusIsoMount, which seems to mount it fine, but does not show any of the files.

How would I proceed?

Thank you
~Aerilith

You can't recover RAID 5 from one disk. RAID 5 requires N-1 disks, so if it was originally a 3-disk RAID 5, you need at least 2 still working. Did you have 2 failed disks? Why did your RAID fail?
