RAID-0-Recovery
A collection of tools to reconstruct the striped volume of a RAID 0 array from mostly complete images of the individual disks.
What this is not:
- A way to recovery data from a RAID 0 array when one of the component disks is completely unreadable
- An excuse to use RAID 0 without redundancy or backup
What this is (planned):
- A collection of scripts to reassemble RAID 0 disks into a single disk image
- A way of determining what files are affected as a result of unreadable sectors on the disks in a RAID 0 array
- A complement to existing tools such as GNU ddrescue, ddrescueview, and ddrutility
- A personal programming challenge
- A free/libre software project (GPLv3+)
What this consists of (planned):
- A script to handle input validation for all the other scripts
- A script to generate random stripes from the component disk images for the purpose of verifying the stripe size
- A script to create one whole non-RAID image or disk from all the individual disk images
- A script to take the logfiles generated from individually copying the component disks of a RAID 0 array with ddrescue and generate a logfile of the whole reconsructed volume suitable as an input for the ddru_findbad and ddru_ntfsfindbad commands in ddrutility
