Kindly show me the way to mount the filesystem. Hello, Pankaj. Probably you are not starting your RAID. You can check it with cat /proc/mdstat. If not, well, you can mark the partitions forming the RAID with persistent superblock (fd partition type in fdisk)) for starting automatically the RAID on boot, or fill in the /etc/raidtab file with the values of your current RAID and start it manually (see raidtools2 package). Also you can read RAID-HOWTO for unvaluable information. Regards, Ender. - -- What was that, honey? It was bad. It had no fire, no energy, no nothing.
