Those are not errors. But it doesn't seem to have a partition table (see below)
I have no experience with the Smart Array Controller, just what I read the past couple of days. Here's how it was mounted on the HP server /dev/cciss/c0d1 /stor02 ext3 defaults 1 1
Ah, they put the ext3 directly on the device. Consistent with the above data.
Is there a way I can get the data off the array with my Centos server? Any help/suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated, I've hit a brick wall.
Try "mount -oro /dev/sda /mnt/tmp" (or whatever) or just see if there's a superblock there with "tune2fs -l /dev/sda".
he has a hardware raid set of drives originally from a HP/Compaq SmartArray controller, now connected to a simple non-raid scsi controller. sorry, thats not gonna play no way no how.
No.. He said he had a sata to scsi raid array in a box that connects multiple sata drives to a single scsi port. Looks like a single drive to the connected system.
