RAID controller

Hi, I try to virtualize my old Linux server ( is a Fujitso SATA raid ).

I create the image with dd and seem to be OK, the VW start OK but then give error mounting disk 6 ( is the disk I have in raid) and disk 8 those are the disk I have in raid.

If any one can give a clue on what I can do to fix the issue.

Thanks

A raid. Do you created images of all raid member disks?

If not then you have created an image of the raid but this contains only the volume build by the raid adapter itself.

what exactly did you dd ?

single volumes of the raid or mounted raid itself _

Absolutely nothing whatsoever has been said so far or in the OP that warrants suggesting the use of this KB!

Until paololprovides adequate information, like the answers to continuum's question is presented, there hasn't been enough information presented to be suggesting one attempt to repair a disk!
