Hi List,

The following Problem:

I dd'ed a whole harddisk with the RAID Partitions to another harddisk. The new
harddisk was a little bit bigger than the original one. Now if i'am doing an
mdadm -E /dev/hdc on the new harddisk i get this:

pentium-test:/proc/ide # mdadm -E /dev/hdc
mdadm: No super block found on /dev/hdc (Expected magic a92b4efc, got 00000000)

There must be a way to find the superblock on the new device... is there anyone
who has a solution for this problem?

I thougt about searching for a92b4efc on the device...

Regards,
Timo
