Please point out any info I have missed. What you have missed is that the mount command doesn't mount devices, it mounts filesystems, which reside on devices. That means mount has nothing to do with, and no knowledge of, the md driver or devices. The error is not indicative of the problem as you don't have NFS installed. The error msg is a bug. File a report against mount and/or ext2 with your distribution--looks like ubuntu. Something is wrong with the filesystem nonetheless. So the first thing to do is run an fsck. If that doesn't fix it, ask for help in the various ubuntu fora. -- Stan
