Re: Mounting raw disk backup file.



I had a drive fail recently, it was working fine until I rebooted. After
that the partition map was corrupt and I can't mount either partition on
the disk. So I made a copy of the whole disk using dd to an old USB drive.
There were several IO errors while dd was copying the disk, so I think the
disk is starting to go.

did you use conv=sync,noerror.

if not your backup is quite corrupted if errors were uncorrectable.


So, any suggestions?


repair partition table, use mdconfig and then you will get

/dev/md0
/dev/md0s1...

as with real drive
