Am not sure I'm in the right place, but I booted off the RH9 disc 1, did
linux rescue and issued cat /proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid5]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
unused devices: <none>
Is that what you were directing me towards? If so, is it saying the drives
are online?
Am getting pretty nervous. I have no experience with the raidtools nor
repairing a raid volume. Can anyone recommend a professional I can hire to
help restore my data?
Thanks again
