It seems normal , but when I try to mount it , it pop the messages , can advise what is wrong in my setting ? thx
mount -t ext3 /dev/emcpowera1 /emc1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/emcpowera1,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
"wrong fstype" - Have you in fact run mkfs on the device? The LUN as presented by PowerPath doesn't have filesystem on it until you put one there with mkfs (linux) or newfs (UNIX).
In fact you could use it as a raw device. Here we actually have 3 raw devices and 4 filesystems (OCFS) for our Oracle RAC install using Clariion devices presented by PowerPath and NaviAgent.
