Task: to access the RAID0 array, which was created from 2 disks on a Linux virtual machine using the mdadm utility, from a Windows virtual machine.

What has been done: a RAID0 array of 2 disks on a Linux virtual machine using the mdadm utility, these 2 disks are connected to a Windows virtual machine. On Windows, the Virtual Volume program is installed ( http://www.chrysocome.net/virtualvolumes ), which according to the description can collect and read RAID0. When installing, the graphical and console part of the Virtual Volume program (vv and vv_cmd) appears, I started vv_cmd and entered the 'show' command, according to the instructions.

Problem: Virtual Volume cannot assemble and read a RAID0 array, although it reads all other sections quite well.

Question: Did someone deal with this program? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or are there other Windows software for this task?

  • I once also asked if the Windows could read the Linux raid (I had the 5th). In general, in short, no. It was recently and strongly doubt that since then something has changed. And what for, if not a secret? Maybe there are other approaches to solve the problem. - don Rumata
  • Alas, it is not implemented in ms / windows . use gnu / linux , providing access to data via some network file protocol implemented in ms / windows (smb, nfs, afs, etc.) - aleksandr barakin
