This assembled the raid, but couldn't see an ext3 file system. >I haven't followed all of this thread, so maybe I missed something, >but have you considered the possibility that there is an LVM config >on the md array, and that the ext3 filesystem is inside a logical >volume? >NeilBrown Hi Neil, I already checked with western digital and its support team. What they've told me is that the Raid is an EXT3 and is not LVM config on the HD, however knowing WD they might just say that so I'd fork over the cash to get my HD recovered for thousands of dollars from them. Is there a way I can check if it's LVM config-ed? Thanks!
