Recovery Mode Mount Raid Drives

DaveJL · 03-08-2010, 12:57 PM

Hello,

To try to fix my system, I am in the Recovery Mode (Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, "hardy") on my server. I am trying to mount the filesystem to be able to edit the system configuration files of my normal system.

fdisk -l shows the following:

Code:

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0001c6cf

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2              14         655     5156865   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3             656       60801   483122745   fd  Linux raid autodetect

Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0002ec98

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *           1          13      104391   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sdb2              14         655     5156865   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb3             656       60801   483122745   fd  Linux raid autodetect

When I try to mount sda3, I get:

Code:

# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'

I tried searching on google and this forum for keywords to get guidance how to proceed, but I haven't found anything that works. So, I would sincerely appreciate if a kind soul could point me in the right direction.

Thanks much,
Dave

I tried a couple more commands:

Code:

# modprobe raid1
# mdadm -E -s
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=629bfb37:53a8883f:537f768e:e9290991
ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=adc78fa5:fac6da39:5ea2599b:29ca6912

Please guide me as to what I need to do with this information in order to mount my RAID disks and be able to edit my normal system configuration files.

Thanks,
Dave
