This is where it gets sad :( I have two identical disks and the images are wrapped up as loop1 and loop2:
# fdisk -ul /dev/loop1 # fdisk -ul /dev/loop2
Disk /dev/loop2: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk /dev/loop2 doesn't contain a valid partition table
So the first one produced no output. That may not be surprising because that's the one that is believed to be faulty, so we don't know how much data in the image is valid, if any.
Is this a linux software raid 1? If it is, you can simply mount one side of the raid. Just try mount loop1 or loop2 without telling it it is a raid, like a plain partition. I did that once and was able to recover the data. Otherwise, it should be possible to be mounted as raid with one side not available, in degraded mode. If "dmraid" is something special... then I don't know. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
