I had a Buffalo DUO crap out on me that was setup as RAID 0. I dont belive it was the drives but rather the controller in the DUO unit. I bought another external HDD enclosure and was able to fireup the two older DUO drives in it and I think I resembled the RAID successfully:

But when I try and mount the array using:
Code:
$ sudo mount /dev/md123 /mnt/caca/
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/md123': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/md123' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/md123 /mnt/caca/
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/md123': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/md123' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
cat /proc/mdstat

It simply wont mount. What am I doing wrong?

I created a RAID 5 array and when I list out the attributes of the "hdisk" it reports back raid_level = 5 but the RAID level of the array = false. What does this actually indicate about my array? I've never paid much attention to this until now since I have a disk reporting failure I want to make... (0 Replies)
Hi guys,

Hi Peeps,
Can anyone help me an EFI lablel on a 3510 raid array that I cannot get rid of, format -e and label just asks you if you want to label it. Want an SMI label writing to it.
Anyone got any ideas on how to remove the EFI label?
Thanks in advance

One of my very old drive farm servers had an OS fault and can't boot now but I'd like to restore some files from it. I tried booting Ubuntu from a CD, but it couldn't see the drives -- possibly because they're RAIDed together. Is there a good way to get at my files?
