  • I would like to add that, if you aren't too constrained by time, and if you have a spare 3TB disk, you might want to "dd" (or image) your one good drive onto the spare as a backup, in case your efforts to add a second drive to the array result in the original being corrupted. This can easily happen if you accidentally specify the new disk as the "master" disk. Commented Apr 30, 2014 at 19:06

  • The main problem here seems to be that there is no evidence whatsoever that you have any RAID at all, right now. You may once have had it, but if so, someone's gone to some lengths to remove the evidence. Until you know what sort of RAID you used to have, it's going to be very hard indeed to tell you how to put it back. Commented May 1, 2014 at 8:32
  • Thanks @MadHatter - Already asked customer support about that. UPDATE 6 Commented May 1, 2014 at 8:53
  • This earlier post about the same problem has this important part: "Hetzner.... activated the rescue system (Linux)". I read that as the system is now running from a different instalation or even a different OS. The original disks (one of which should be bootable) will still have the RAID configuration.
