I probably could have saved you before you did that. Maybe I still can... You have an Intel IMSM RAID0 array over sdb and sdd. This was 3711741952 sectors in size using the first 1855871240 sectors of each device - data arranged in 7249496 256KiB stripes (128KiB on each device). This 1900GB array was partitioned into 3 partitions: 3MB, 1800MB, and 18MB. Presumably the data you want is on the 2nd partition: the 1800MB one? When you ran the "mdadm --create" command it wrote some meta data at the start of the device - probably only a 4K block at 8K from the start. This is before the first partition, so it might not have affected any data at all. It may have corrupted the partition table. You need to put the array together again without writing anything to it. Fortunately that is fairly easy with RAID0. 1/ If /dev/md0 still exists, stop it "mdadm --stop /dev/md0" 2/ put the two devices into a RAID0 with no metadata. mdadm --build /dev/md0 -n 2 -z 927935620 -c 128 -l 0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdd 3/ create a read-only loop device over the second partition losetup -r -o 4096K --sizelimit 7176980M /dev/loop0 /dev/md0 4/ Examine the filesystem at /dev/loop0 READ-ONLY. You didn't say what sort of filesystem you used. If ext4, then fsck -n /dev/loop0 5/ If it looks good, try mounting /dev/loop0 READ-ONLY. I recommend that you FIRST read the relevant parts of the mdadm and losetup man pages, and check my arithmetic to make sure the numbers that I have given are correct. If unsure, ask. If it doesn't work, I recommend reporting results, asking, and waiting before doing anything that might change anything on the drives. NeilBrown
