I have 3 old SCSI HDDs that were in a hardware RAID, I don’t have the RAID controller anymore but I have imaged them with DD and a SCSI PCI card I have.
Is there any way to assemble this array in software on Linux? I just want to get the data off so read only is fine.
Running blkid on the drive shows it as an Adaptec RAID member.
I believe the drives are in RAID 5.

EDIT: I got it working, but I had to use windows. I installed ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery to find the RAID parameters then used the UFS explorer Pro free trial to image the array to a virtual disk. After a quick (actual quite long) chkdsk I managed to mount the NTFS file system on the array

EDIT2: There seem to be a lot of missing files, I don’t think there was anything important on here anyway

EDIT3: wow, the found.000 folder is huge. I guess the recovery failed, or the array got pretty badly corrupted on the ~10 years in storage.
