Hi,

My 2 hard drives fried at the same moment apparently. My host company rebooted my server in rescue mode and I am trying to recover my data.

They told me to mount /dev/sda2 to recover the data I need but, looking at a similar server that I have in pool, the data I'm looking for should be instead in /dev/md2.

I can find /dev/md0 but not /dev/md2 (nor /dev/md1).

I've looked on several places on the web and I could only find messages explaining how to create new partition. I just need to recover some data, not all of it and I'll be glad if anyone could help me to mount the /dev/md2 folder (or any other trick that would allow me to recover the data that was stored there).

Thanks in advance,

Sten
