The file system type the RAID 1 was originally working with. Looking at dmesg, as suggested in mount's error message is a good idea. Try to omit the explicit file system ("-t ext4") in the mount invocation above: mount should be able to find out by itself -- unless you positively know that ext4 is right. > Or do I have to first create a (failed) array with mdadm ? For RAID 1 it shouldn't be necessary, AFAIR regards - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlZ6di0ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kb9wwCdHi0Weh7pDLT7s10SL5g4V7wl dxsAnjdx0fz4GbxWrAmElSPt7XuKqupY =yZCV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
