I recently replaced a drive in an existing raid. I was only doing this to increase the capacity of the array. The old drive was and seems to be working correctly.
Due to me hatefully doing so I found myself adding a driving instead of replacing the drive. In short after all is said and done I now have a working array with the new drive with more space and a drive with SOME of the my data on it. Luckily this data isn't critical in anyway, But part of me wondered if there was a way for me to access the drive and copy the information off it?
I've tried connecting it to a stand alone Linux machine, Drive will not mount stating "cant read superblock".
I've downloaded a few utilities on a windows machine and CAN see information on the drive, But to copy the data I need to pay for the application. This information is not worth enough to pay for the application.
So as it stands, Is there a way to recover the information using a stand alone machine? It now is more of just a challenge to see if it is possible.
