I have a RAID1 array of two drives created with mdadm. Is it possible to remove one of the drives, hook it up to a USB SATA adapter, and safely mount it, get the info off of it, and return the drive?
I have a computer that served as a fileserver for a number of years, and I've had it off for the past year. The power supply sounds pretty bad when I turn it on now, and the bootup is slow enough to make me worry. I'd rather not fry my equipment and lose my data, so does USB sound like a viable solution?
How do I safely mount a member of a RAID1, mdadm-created array on USB of another computer?
I'm using Ubuntu for the old computer, something like 09.10, and 11.04 on the working computer.
The server is already down, so the other drive won't be live while I'm pulling data off through USB. – Conrad.Dean – 2011-12-10T16:06:52.757
