The big dump

[paul moore]

 Hi Marek,

 Actually, the output of dmraid isn't of much use to me. If it is a RAID 1
set, you can dd and/or fdisk either of the component drives to get the
information. If it is a RAID 0 set, you can use the first drive of the set
since most of the information is held in the first stripe. Just don't have
fdisk change anything! I can use any and all partitioning information I
can get, and yours may prove to be interesting, doono. Does it see the
drives but not the partitions?

 Thanks,
  Paul
