Re: rescue an alien md raid5

Hi kpkim,

You mean that the system needs an lvm/lvm2 layer to properly interpret 
the underlying filesystem?  

Possible, but the USR OSS list:
<http://www.usr.com/support/gpl/8700-OpenSourcesList-0.63_USR.xls>
doesn't list lvm as part of their implementation.  Would mdadm have 
been able to detect this?
