I have a raid5 on an onboard ICH9R FAKERAID. I was booting into windows
and windows crashed as it sometimes does, which put my array into a
degraded step. At some point before the array finished rebuilding I
unplugged one of the drives and forgot to plug it back in. When I
booted up the system, it told me that the array was now failed.
I plugged the drive back in, but the array stays as failed and offers me
no option to repair it.
I heard that dmraid supports ICH9R raid. Is there any way to get the
data off of there? When I try to use dmraid of a knoppix live cd it
complaints about an unsupported map state 0x2. I heard there was a
patch http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/, but I'm not sure
how to apply that to a LiveCD.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can recover the data? Maybe I can
just change the metadata and force it to boot the array?
