Reading from a Linux RAID1 disk

[Joe Tseng]

My old file server (running Fedora 6, software RAID1) finally gave up living
after we lost our power in the big storm a few weeks back.  When I tried to
start it back up nothing happened - I guess the power supply is kaput.  I
want to take contents off one of the RAID1 disks and store it somewhere else
for the time being.  I plugged the disk into an IDE -> USB converter and
plugged into my Ubuntu laptop but it can't read it b/c the disk is marked as
part of an array.  Is there some way I can read this disk short of
recreating the RAID1 in another old Linux desktop?
