What RAID-0-Recovery is

RAID-0-Recovery is a free Linux project intended to reconstruct a RAID 0 striped volume from mostly complete images of its component disks. Its planned output is a single disk image or non-RAID disk assembled from those images. Planned scripts would validate inputs, generate random stripes to help check stripe size, and identify files affected by unreadable sectors. Another planned tool would merge ddrescue logs from individual disks into a logfile for the reconstructed volume, suitable for specified ddrutility commands. The project is described as a complement to GNU ddrescue, ddrescueview, and ddrutility. Its README describes the software as free/libre under GPLv3+. The project status is important: the scripts and capabilities are described as planned, rather than as a completed recovery workflow. The README also says the tools cannot recover data if a component disk is completely unreadable. It cautions that the project does not make RAID 0 safe to use without redundancy or a backup.

Good

  • Free/libre software under GPLv3+.
  • Designed to work with disk images.
  • Planned logfile output targets ddrutility commands.

Watch out

  • Scripts and capabilities are described as planned.
  • Cannot recover data from a completely unreadable component disk.
  • Supports RAID 0 only.

Who it suits

It is intended for Linux users trying to reconstruct a RAID 0 volume from mostly complete disk images. It may interest users working alongside GNU ddrescue, ddrescueview, and ddrutility, provided they account for the planned status of its capabilities.

Verdict

RAID-0-Recovery outlines a set of tools for assembling and analyzing RAID 0 disk images, but its README describes the capabilities as planned. It cannot recover a completely unreadable component disk and does not replace redundancy or backups.
