Now let's say that one of the systems experiences a failure that keeps it from being able to be started (e.g. blown motherboard). Is there a way to get the data off of the failed system's disks after putting them in the working system? It seems to me that the disk device names stored in the superblock are going to conflict with the device names of the existing disks. But then again, I'm not a SW RAID expert ;-) TIA
