Hi Wol,

thank you for the link! I have installed mdadm (its on portage) but I
have not used it, since there is another soultion for this, which I
tried first. 

Andrea posted this wonderful line:

mount -o ro,offset=512 /dev/sdb /mnt/xxx

which mounts the filesystem by skipping the partitiontable completly.

Currently I am rescueing the data. If all is safed, I will tru
mdadm...

Thank you very much for your help!

As soon as there are more information, I will report back.
Maybe this can also help others with similiar problems.

Cheers!
Meino
