Trouble mounting RAID partition
 
Hello,

Recently my server had one of its hard drives fail and they are mounted with a RAID 1. My server hosts have booted the server in to a recovery system from where I should be able to mount the drives and copy data to our backup server.

I was able to mount one part, this being md2 which is / but am having problems mounting /home (md3). cat /proc/mdstat show all md0-3 as active but when using 'mount /dev/md3 /mnt/main/home' I get the following error(below the mdstat).

Code:

mdstat shows the following:


Personalities : [raid1]
md3 : active raid1 sda4[0]
      1822442815 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md2 : active raid1 sda3[0]
      1073740664 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0]
      524276 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
      33553336 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]


mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Does anyone have a solution to fix this problem?

Thanks Rob

Did you specify the file system type? For example, mount /dev/md3 /mnt/somedir -t ext3

What does fsck tell you about the partition?
