Help... recovering data from...

[oddone]

Hi Linux Gurus,

i have a problem that i can't resolve...

is there a way to recover data from a failed Raid 1 mirror disk inside a Logical Volume (LVM) with ext3 filesystem?

OS: Debian Linux:
Kernel: 2.6.8-2-686-smp

i tried to load the "good" raid 1 mirror disk on a separate recovery box and
i am trying to re-assemble the raid array with mdadm...

fdisk -l shows

Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table

This is the raid1 disk...

Please... puhleeeasseee help me.. data on that drive is very important to my boss..

Thanks in Advance

Forever Newbie...

I don't know how to recover your data.

But I think it will be a difficoult task.... and I give you a little hint for the future: LVM snapshot.
