Subject: mdadm -E won't examine loop back device, works ok on source disk
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2012 17:00:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANb3qHeDF10CoRiteo_wwUSvGtpjcNWPh95xdatkFoY+GyAZJQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Consider a SATA drive /dev/sdb which is a member of an imsm RAID0 array...

% sum /dev/sdb
25645 156290904

The drive was imaged to a file without error and mounted as a loopback device...

% sum /dev/loop2
25645 156290904

The checksums match as expected. But I can not examine the loopback I get....

% mdadm  -E -v /dev/loop2
mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/loop2.

But I can examine the physical source drive /dev/sdb...

% mdadm  -E -v /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:

I'm trying to recover data from a failed RAID0.
I can successfully reassemble the RAID0 from the image files using
other proprietary recovery software.
But I would like to get it working with mdadm if at all possible.
Any ideas?

Regards,
V
