This is probably stupid, but without trying each and every mount/filesystem type, is there a way to tell the filesystem of a formatted disk? I can see the label with fdisk -- and it says Linux 83, but I was told it was reiserfs, but get the error:
83 is just the partition type, it could be any number of things. Try mount -t auto /dev/hdc1 /mnt
Oh, one other issue -- it was a part of a ATARAID/mirror set before, but I would think since it was a mirror I should be able to mount the good one (the other died as did the motherboard).
Ah. No, that's not the way RAID works. -- -ckm
