Re: Import data from an array coming from another computer

I didn't saw it. It is a possibility that the disk was configured as
spare in the IOMEGA device. The second disque have its GPT table
corrupt.

So it would mean that the data are lost since the first disk is
corrupted and the second, as a spare device, have no data on it.

(I'm not the one that configured in first place the IOMEGA device. The
guys that are using it came to me to see if I can recover their data)

It is better but it still doesn't work:
$ mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 --run /dev/sdc1
mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md1: Input/output error
mdadm: Not enough devices to start the array.
One device should be enough to start RAID1 array. But here is something I missed
in your first message:

Line starting from 'this' indicate that device you have was spare component of
array, so no information restore is possible with this disk. Do you have acess
to other drive, named /dev/sdb1 in your mdadm --examine output?
