All right, I am trying to recover a WD SATA RAID using Ubuntu. I might have to puchase a Promise SATA RAID card.

That is step one. To get the best help you really need to give details such as RAID number etc -- https://www.createspace.com/3707686

Were you using the controller to do the RAID, or using linux md? If the former, then a different make (or even model) RAID controller may not be able to understand the RAID signature on the drives. A while back I was told by 3ware that while most 3ware cards could support arrays created by other 3ware models, the MegaRAID cards could not. And in this case I agree with philo: try to get as close to your original hardware as possible to reduce the chance for problems. If the latter, then you need to make sure you export the drives as bare, single, or JBOD units. Do *not* let the new controller write the drives, or your RAID array may be lost. And in this case you might be better off with a controller that doesn't have any sort of hardware RAID support, so you can be sure that it won't mess with the drives accidentally. --keith -- kkeller-usenet@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information
