I have recently received one of the two 1TB drives I had on a dedicated server. The drives were mirrored and the server was running CentOS 5.6.
I've installed it in an USB enclosure and tried mounting under Ubuntu to copy some files, but surprise, it won't mount.
fdisk -l
says /dev/sdb does not contain a valid partition table
mount /dev/sdb /media/usb
says unknown filesystem ddf_raid_member
if I dd for the first 1024 bytes i can see some strings that belong to the GRUB boot loader.
What could I do to recover my data?
I've added the drive as raid level 1 to /dev/md0 and still cannot mount it, it keeps saying there is no valid partition table/no valid superblock. Have looked for backup superblocks, found some, tried restoring, but it won't do it. – Nick M – 2012-07-31T22:30:18.367
