Sorry if this has been covered before (it likely has) ... I tried searching but no direct hits.
I just went to install Ubuntu 6.10 server and must have checked the wrong box and formatted a raid that I meant only to specify a mount point for (not format also). It was a raid 5 constructed from four 200gb hard drives. The raid contains a single extension 3 partition, /dev/md0 ==> /raid.
Anyways, the drive has been formatted but I have not touched the contents at all. Is there a good utility I can use that will be able to rebuild the filesystem with the files that should be on the disk already? I found http://sourceforge.net/projects/giis/ but when it comes down to potentially losing all of my data, I would rather ask for some suggestions before trying things on my own.
Luckily none of the data is too important and maybe a fourth of it is already backed up but if I am able to recover this in anything short of a weeks work it would be well worth it. Thanks for any help you can give me.
