You can't mount an extended partition, only partitions within the extended 
partition.  The only thing in there is a swap partition (sda5), so that 
won't help you much.  Perhaps you meant to mount /dev/sda1, which is an 
ext2 partition, although not a RAID partition according to fdisk.

Looking at your mount command, you're also trying to use the much older 
"ext" filesystem type.  You'll want to use the newer ext2 type.
