Hope you get if figured out. This is why Coraid's
raid formats are public infomation. We even have a
program calle srcat that will copy the blocks out
of a set of disks removed from our equipment. I hate
to be held hostage by some raid controller.
If you need some new disks so you can dup the old ones
I can send you some. Just let me know how big and if they
are PATA or SATA.

servers are still down. We reloaded the raid array
controller's firmware, which it was demanding.
That appears to have been successful, and it seems
to have retained its configuration in NVRAM
(though why it lost its firmware is puzzling).
We're a little nervous about putting the disks back
into it because these devices have a nasty habit of
reformatting their disks when you change their configurations,
and it's hard to know if this one considers its
configuration to have changed.
Does anyone else have experience with these? The model
naming is a little obscure but it seems to be Maxtronic
Arena Industrial II. It takes eight IDE disks and presents
a single SCSI interface to the host.
