I know it's software based, but I guess what I'm trying to do is to import/convert the adaptec 'raid' partition into to something I can access as a usable partition/raid. It's a raid 0 - however as it's laid out on the disks at the moment, I don't believe I can use the kernel raid to mount/recover/convert/anything to it.

With the existing tools, is there a way to make this usable? or is the only way to set this up to copy the data off using the Adaptec module, and create a new software raid with the kernel raid? -- Signed, Steven Haigh I am root.
