I'm having a problem with my PowerMac G5 system. If you think you might be able to help, I would like your input and advice. Thanks!
This is the setting of my system. There are two internal drives. One is a 320GB ATA drive, and the other is a 400GB serial ATA drive. They have been running for the past six months as a RAID 0, combined drive.
They were combined as a RAID drive using Apple's Disk Utility. Last week, the drive would not mount to the desktop. The drives are intact, and have not crashed. My best guess would be that the volume header has been corrupted, not allowing the volume to mount. I am not looking (at this time) to recover the actual data files from the drive. I would like to see if you can work some magic, and rebuild the volume headers.
This would allow me to get back to the state I was before the trouble began. Disk Utility, shows both drives, and the RAID configuration drive of 651GB, but lists them as not mounted. Terminal shows the two slices with their status of Offline, and a third Unknown slice that is Missing/Damaged. If I try and run diskutil from the Terminal, I get "Can't open /dev/rdisk4: Resource busy"
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time, Jeff
