Mounting a Disk from another RAID 1 system to retrieve data

Recommended Posts

Hello Unraid community.

 

I have an older Linux system that failed. I was running a OS disk and two separate drives in a Raid 1 config, OS RAID not hardware. 

My system failed, not disk, and I am rebuilding the system in UNRAID with two fresh disks.

I have plugged in the drives and they show up in unassigned drives in UNRAID

The drive were just a mirror of each other in the previous build.

How can I mount them in UNRAID to recover data?

 

I am not seeing partitions with a LSBLK command, just eh drive themselves. 
I believe the RAID was originally configured with ext2 filesystem. 

 

Thanks for any advice.

You will need to set up a linux VM and pass both disks through to the VM, then mount them there. Unraid removes the standard linux software RAID module and replaces it with the parity array special sauce.
