I am helping a friend move a fileserver from 2k to Linux and as such have
been playing with LDM and NTFS. He has a 4 disk software RAID0 stripe set
using LDM the data on it being "useful to have" so I could experiment with
it and try to read it under linux. The LDM driver in 2.4.20-pre7-ac3 saw
the partitions fine, I then setup a raidtab with a 4 disk raid set without
persistent-superblock and a 64k stripe size. Once I had run mkraid I could
mount the resulting md device with ntfs and read it without problems. and
have copied off 130GB of data. I haven't tried to read the set under 2k
again as I feel that I might have written rubbish over the database at the
end of the disks (which I assume is really rather important)
I have the raidtab if others are interested
