Hello all

I have this raid

Disk /dev/mapper/isw_bachbeddec_Media doesn't

But am new to linux and am not sure if this is all right?

I am trying to mount the 6tb raid to /media

I am running xbmcbuntu

Thanks

You have 3 unpartitioned disks /dev/sdb, /dev/sdg and /dev/sdh which you have combined somehow into a 6G RAID.

It isn't clear how you are doing the RAID. The 4 common choices are a RAID card, md, BIOS RAID, or LVM RAID.
I'm sure that there is a case where BIOS RAID is OK, but I don't know what it might be.

At any rate, what happens when you issue the commands?

Code:

mkdir /bettername
mount /dev/mapper/isw_bachbeddec /bettername

Don't use /media, because that name is for, well, media.
If you are using md raid, you should use partitioned disks so you can label them.
If the mount works, then just add an entry in /etc/fstab for the RAID to be automounted.

But it is for media

forgot to say when I run

Code:

 mount -t auto /dev/mapper/isw_bachbeddec_Media /media

it mounts and shows in xbmc as a full drive.

the raid was made via intel matrix if that helps.
