Subject: shuffled disks by mistake
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 22:17:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <423056F1.2020403@fastmail.co.uk> (raw)
Hi,
I have 6 WD800Jb disk drives. I used 4 of them in a RAID5 (using the
whole disk - no partitions) array.
I have mixed them all up, and now want to get some data off the array.
How best to find out which drives were in the array?
Here are the partition tables (obtained using fdisk on OS X):
