Elloz,
I know this might be impossible to do, but I'm just looking for options. I have had a double drive failure on an older IBM x3550 M3 server with RAID 5 configured on an LSI card. I didn't really look closer into the state - whether the failed drives spin up yet or if the drive would show up within a linux box - though my idea is `dd`-ing the whole drive to a same (I have few spares) and putting it back into the array - might that work?
I have seen also a 3rd drive in a `predicted failure` state so ... happy days :D
The VDisk had a VMware boot drive + datastore on it and I need to pickpocket an sql database within a centos vhost from there, which I sadly didn't have backed up :/
do you have any other ideas maybe? I'm more or less convinced the data is lost, but I just want to play around with this...
