R-Linux may find some remnants of various mdadm volumes, but don't pay much attention to that, work with the hard disk.

Alt,

I got all my data back with R-Linux. Not only files but all directory structure. Everything looks fine. The R-Linux is a terrific tool. I was a desperate man yesterday and today I am very happy one. I am so grateful to the R-Linux creators.

Thank you.

Sea.

Hi,

I am desperately looking for a help to recover a partition and its file system (ext4). I have 2 identical HDDs (1 TB, each) mounted as RAID 1 (software).

Accidentally, I ran [b][i]mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 [/i][/b]over an existing RAID 1 (Ext4 file system). After that I cannot mount /dev/md2 (even /dev/sda2 nor /dev/sdb2). It results in: [b][i]"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error"[/i][/b].

I made a clone of /dev/sda2 to a third HDD and I tried [b]dumpe2fs[/b] and [b]fsck[/b], but here are not valid superblocks (I tried all superblock found by dumpe2fs) and they did not able to repair the file system.

As I could not able to mount the partition I believe that the data are still there. Is there any way to revert what I have done, repair the file system, or recover files?

Thank you.
