I have an openfiler box that uses mdadm to create a RAID array (RAID 1).<br />
<br />
The openfiler box has some issue with it that doesn't let it authenticate with the domain anymore. Everything else works, and the file system is in tact.<br />
<br />
I just want to kill it and turn it into an Ubuntu server box.<br />
<br />
Question:<br />
<br />
The two drives (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1) are configured as a RAID array and the array is in tact. How do I read the array from those drives to re-configure mdadm via the ubuntu desktop live CD?

Recover Linux RAID

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
