which drive do I mount

  • 772

I have a system hdd

then two raid1 hard drives

I see that sda1 is the system drive

but when i do a fdisk -l I get the following results

so which of the following do i need to mount to get the "raid" drive and not the individual hdd?

root@Mxxxx-PDC:/etc/samba# fdisk -l

  1. e) None of the above

    You want one of the /dev/md* or /dev/mapper/* entries instead.
