I pulled the /dev/md1 from the 'prefered minor' that was in the
examine output. You can use a different one without hassle.
The ordering for the command is:
Usage: mdadm --assemble md-device options-and-component-devices...
So it assembles physical devices onto the virtual /dev/md0
The '--run' is because with a missing device it would usually only
assemble the array and leave it stopped which is the safest default.
OK
Try
# /sbin/mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 --run -u
b6035660:c11a8a2e:7026aea2:99d23bfc /dev/sdc5
No recognisable superblock on /dev/sdc5
dev/sdc5 has wrong uuid
No devices found for /dev/md0
BUT! I tried it with sdc1 using it's uuid and it works!
I message came up that /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive out of 2
Then mount /dev/md0 /mnt worked and I can see the files and directories.
I can now see the old /etc/fstab and it tells me that it was a reiserfs system.
What I don't follow is that now If I run:
/sbin/mdadm --examine /dev/sdc5
"No md superblock detected on /dev/sdc5" where as before it said
/dev/sdc5:
Magic : a92b4efc
etc....
I have some playing to do to work it out but am now much relived I can see data.
