Is it possible to use dmraid with files rather than physical devices? I've made copies with dd of two RAID0 disks as files. Is there any way to access the contents of the RAID or do I need to copy them onto other physical disks first?
You could try "mdadm --assemble /dev/md/0 file1 file2 ...". Don't know whether it works so. Afterwards you should be able to mount /dev/md0 as usual.
I tried mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /tmp/mnt/sda /tmp/mnt/sdb but it says: mdadm: /tmp/mnt/sda is not a block device mdadm: /tmp/mnt/sda has no superblock - assembly aborted Oh well. Thanks for the idea, though. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
