I'm attempting to extract data from a HD that has a bunch of linux-raid partitions, including one large one with data I need to save off the disk.
I actually have two drives like that (both not from the same RAID pair), and one of them I was successful in creating a MD device so I could mount it RO and copy off a ton of data.
the second one fails to mount, saying the XFS filesystem is corrupted. Attempting to run XFS_repair I get a message that the filesystem is XFS-1 and I need an older version of XFS tools to do it.
I'm running Centos-7 with whatever version of XFS tools comes with it, according to 'yum list installed' it appears to be xfsprogs 4.5.0-22.el7.
I don't particularly want to install another, older, version of xfsprogs on this system. can anyone suggest any other way to gain access to this disk partition?
Thanks in advance!
Fred
