It seems it has correctly mounted its partition... Can't you find it? |
| 19 |

I have the feeling that you are messing it up. If I understand it |
| 21 |
correctly the server has an hardware RAID controller, that has to be |
| 22 |
managed via its drivers. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Software RAID tools aren't suitable to mount correctly this setup, I |
| 25 |
would mount random partition for testing purposes only, on a spare |
| 26 |
machine. |

The wiser thing to do is find an old livecd supporting PERC SAS (or |
| 29 |
whatever raid card is in that Snap) RAID cards and assemble the array in |
| 30 |
degraded mode for data recovery. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Another thing can come very useful: we once had a similar problem, we |
| 33 |
ended up borrowing one identical disc from another running server to put |
| 34 |
the array back online, we recovered our data, then restored the other |
| 35 |
server's array. |
