I have a quandary. I had two Seagate 750G drives in a software raid on machine A. I needed to remove one of the drives and RMA it due to excessive read/write head schizophrenia. I now have the device out of the box to RMA but I need to mount it to delete some of the data. I tried mounting is via usb, but received an error due to raid as the file type:
[23:03 alchemy:/home/david/linux/packages/SRPMS] # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/750 mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
I know you got it working, but two ideas for the next time: specify a "type" for the mount like ext3 or whatever (not raid), or use fdisk to modify the partition type to 83. I did that once. And of course, if your intention is to return the disk, you can blank it out entirely wit dd. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
