So here is the deal, I had a bad drive which I replaced and brought the RAID array back online, over night I let it run it's recovery and now the RAID array shows clean
Code:
[root@viamao ~]# mdadm --detail /dev/md0
/dev/md0:

Problem is, I can't mount the RAID array, and I fear that I have lost data.
[root@viamao archive1]# mount /dev/md0 /share/archive1
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@viamao archive1]# mount -t ext3 /dev/md0 /share/archive1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0,
or too many mounted file systems
Anything I can do at this point to see for sure if the file system is corrupt or if I have lost data? What a terrible way to start a Wednesday morning.
