Ohh sorry should have noted that I tried both ways.. nas# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt mount: Mounting /dev/sdb on /mnt failed: No such device and nas# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt mount: Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: No such device
and I did check /dev there are /dev/sdb1 --- sdb8 listed no errors in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog Cheers Ad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Gfroerer Sent: Wednesday, 5 December 2007 7:23 PM To: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [leaf-user] HighPoint RocketRAID 174x (need help in formating/mounting the RAID) Adam Niedzwiedzki wrote: > The issue is formatting the RAID, > I just assumed I would fdisk /dev/sdb and create a single primary partition > of type linux, then mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 and then just mount it, so I tried > that and this is where things went a little south. I hope this is a typo and you created the filesystem on /dev/sdb1 but not /dev/sda1. > nas# mount /dev/sdb1 /storage > mount: Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument > > tail /var/syslog > Dec 5 15:07:52 nas kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 65025 you didn't specify a filesystem type for mount (assuming you don't have an entry in /etc/fstab) and it looks like it defaulted to (V)FAT. Try specifying "-t ext3".
