Today I tried to mount a raid volume by using the following command:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk
mount: unknown filesystem type 'mdraid'
I tried to figure out how to mount this then, but was not successful by searching for a filesystem type called mdraid to install. The reason is, that the software raid system (if detected) is an extra device (next to the physical harddisks) so using the following command:
#cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md2 : active raid1 sda3[0] sdb3[1]
726266432 blocks [2/2] [UU]
gave me the information I needed to know.
Mounting was now very easy:
mount /dev/md2 /mnt/disk
