I desperately need to find a recovery procedure that will allow me to
*fully* recover from a backup server another server box we have here
(potentially one of several) that has a 5-disk hardware raid 5 array
in it,
Unfortunately, tomsrtbt doesn't cut it...
- no nfs server, which is needed for exporting filesystems to
allow the dump to occur over a network, and
- the default tomsrtbt kernel is built with:
# CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID is not set
so there no support for raid5, not even a module for it.
I've looked at several recovery utilities, none of them seem to be
able to do the job. I need to be able to totally recover a dead image
from a network backup.
Anybody here have any suggestions?
[Ok, I could restore the main filesystem onto some spare hard drive
space on the backup server, then tar-gzip it all into a netcat pipe,
but that's _really_ ugly. Besides, I need megaraid support for the
kernel running on the recovery end.]
Cheers
Tony
