You may need to plug them into a controller of the exact same model to get to the data. The on-disk format is frequently not interchangeable from one RAID controller to the next.
Hm. This sounds bad as it was a builtin motherboard controller - Via maybe? Don't have it in front of me. I'm not even sure if it was a hardware or software RAID because Windows required drivers to see it, and (obviously) I never mounted it in Debian. This is a very humbling experience indeed...
I suppose you could attempt to set up a Linux software RAID and present these drives to it. I wouldn't count on it working, though. The Software RAID Howto is a good place to start: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html
Thanks for the link! It seems a bit outdated (like so many HOWTOs), and I can't tell if any of the instructions would work for "importing" an existing array because of statements like the following: "This should initialize the superblocks and start the raid device." (section 5.5)
Basically, I want to be able to mount 2 NTFS formatted disks readonly as a RAID 0 array with 64kb chunks.
Thanks, for the help! Michael Schurter
