How To Mount RAID0 on Ubuntu (to recover data from Acer Aspire S5 Ultrabook)

Gur Kamal Singh Badal

Recently I ran into booting issues with windows 7 on my Acer Aspire S5 ultrabook. Before bootup, the system indicated that one of the physical disks (the ultrabook has two 128 GB SSDs in preinstalled RAID0 configuration) has problems – and on booting up windows goes into the blue screen of death mode.

I basically want to recover my data from the disks before reformatting these and reinstalling Ubuntu.

Using the USB stick, I was able to start Ubuntu (without installing it), and am able to see both these disks (and both these are showing as healthy, though with bad sectors) when viewed using 'disks'.

enter image description here enter image description here The output of the fdisk -l command is as follows:

    ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5

/dev/sdb3      3823264065  4948320604   562528270    0  Empty

I tried mounting the raid (which is based on Intel MATRIX Raid) by using 'dmraid -ay'

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmraid -ay
ERROR: isw: wrong number of devices in RAID set "isw_bbdaaaifgc_Aspire S5-391" [1/2] on /dev/sdb
RAID set "isw_bbdaaaifgc_Aspire S5-391" was not activated

Additional inputs:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmraid -r
/dev/sdb: isw, "isw_bbdaaaifgc", GROUP, ok, 250069678 sectors, data@ 0

How do I get the disks to mount in the original RAID0 configuration?

Fabby

You don't get the disks to mount in RAID0 any more when one of the disks fails... RAID0 is basically a striping set and when one of the disks fails, the entire RAID array fails and the fat lady has sung...

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news! :-(

The only thing you can do now is reformat (or replace) and restore your back-up...
