1. Have you partially filled your RAID6 array? If so, do you have
current backups for everything you care about?
2. Please indicate whether you prefer to mount by LABEL, UUID, or /dev
3. If it's by /dev, please send the output of: parted -l
4. If it's by LABEL or UUID, please also send the output of: blkid
Sincerely,
Nicholas
