Firstly when recovering start by making 2 copies of the raw device on separate hardware. If need be buy 2*4TB disks to store this (the price of the disks is nothing compared to the value of the data). On Friday, 19 July 2019 10:10:46 AM AEST bob via luv-main wrote:

How exactly is the disk "damaged"? This will be important later.
still there, but I can't see the files because of the RAID filing system. I have tried ddrescue which I have been able to use to copy data from the main partition on the damaged disk onto an old ntfs disk I had lying around but it is still unreadable as the raid filesystem refuses to mount and I still can't see the files.
When you have an image of the disk stored safely run use losetup to set it up as a loop block device and then kpartx to access the partition table. After doing that run "file -s" on the block devices for the kpartx created partition entries and give us the output. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
