Re-created the disk array volume with the Default file system option and then tried again to mount the file system without success.

Anyone any suggestions where I'm going wrong?

Thanks, DD.

fdisk

FDISK(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  FDISK(8)

NAME

       fdisk - partition a hard disk [IBM]

SYNOPSIS

       fdisk [-hm] [-sn] [file]

OPTIONS

       -h     Number of disk heads is m

       -s     Number of sectors per track is n

EXAMPLES

       fdisk /dev/hd0	   # Examine disk partitions

       fdisk -h9 /dev/hd0  # Examine disk with 9 heads

DESCRIPTION

       When  fdisk  starts  up,  it reads in the partition table and displays it.  It then presents a menu to allow the user to modify partitions,
       store the partition table on a file, or load it from a file.  Partitions can be marked as MINIX, DOS or other, as well as  active  or  not.
       Using fdisk is self-explanatory.  However, be aware that repartitioning a disk will cause information on it to be lost.	Rebooting the sys-
       tem immediately is mandatory after changing partition sizes and parameters.  MINIX, XENIX, PC-IX, and MS-DOS all have  different  partition
       numbering schemes.  Thus when using multiple systems on the same disk, be careful.

       Note that MINIX, unlike MS-DOS , cannot access the last sector in a partition with an odd number of sectors.  The reason that odd partition
       sizes do not cause a problem with MS-DOS is that MS-DOS allocates disk space in units of 512-byte sectors, whereas MINIX  uses  1K  blocks.
       Fdisk has a variety of other features that can be seen by typing h.

       Fdisk normally knows the geometry of the device by asking the driver.  You can use the -h and -s options to override the numbers found.
