I have Suse Linux 12.1 and i am trying to mount a single RAID 1 disk, to explore the files in it. However when mounting it:
# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
I started reading around and many advised to just force the filessystem type
# mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /mnt/test busy
when trying
umount /dev/sdc1
umount: /dev/sdc1: not mounted
Could someone provide some advise?
I am running my machines insed an ESXI server and it is a virtual disk. However this should not play, as this disks are not used by any other machines
thaknks!
