My estimated Linux friend.
Please do not say "won't work".
Give me a chance please.
Download GParted and try it first (I repeat again, GParted recognizes your CPU and hardware configuration and it loads the right drivers), after that, you can tell me: "It did not work".  |
Your proggy is just like Parition Magic. Not even partition magic can save me on this one because the partition table is spread across opposite drives in a different format. The reason being is that the ULIRaid writes things in a different sector format than the SiLRAID, so even if I could recover my partitions, the new RAID controller will still not be able to read the data on the new controller. On top of that, the split happened at 16k chunks before and I am now using 64k chunks to deal better with larger file sizes at the expense of smaller file transfer speeds, so data is even allocated differently between the drives than they were in the past.
I wish i could do an easy fix, but look at the bright side, everytime I reload Gentoo and compile it by hand, i learn a little more and I figure out how to do things a little more efficiently.

PS. What I describe above is one of the disadvatages of using RAID
PPS. Thanks for the info on that proggy - I will save that link and will use it in the future. Its a free Partition Magic!
