help mounting raid partitions

[Elerek]

Okay, so I just finished setting up a raid 0 between two 1 TB drives I have. I'm going to use it for storing non-critical or already backed up data and games, so I'm not concerned with the added risk of raid 0.

 

I partitioned it into two 500G partitions and one ~900G partition. I'm trying to mount the last one in a terminal with 'sudo mount /dev/md0p3 /media/games', but I'm getting 'wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0p3, missing codepage, or other error'.

 

'sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md0' says everything is clean.

 

What am I missing?

 

edit, the 500G partitions are NTFS, the last one that I'm trying to mount is ext4. 'sudo fdisk -l' shows all 3 partitions as /dev/md0p1-3

you sure thats the right number?

 

reformat it if it doesn't have any data.

 

Also wtf are you using NTFS on md on linux. You can't acces the partition in windows, so use ext4, btrfs, or xfs.

 

Id suggest using a btrfs raid 0

The NTFS partitions are going to be passed through to windows vms.

Not normally a great idea. Give the VMs a image and then let them make the partitions in there.

They will have a small image for the os on an ssd, the 500G partition is for file storage for each of the 2 vms. The 900G partition will be shared between them for game storage.

Id strongly suggest against that. Id just make a samba file share or make a big image they share

 

 

WIth mounting the partition, use the fsck on ext4
