I recently installed Linux Mint 18.1 and am dual booting alongside Windows 10. I have two RAID arrays that I want to access, but only one seems to work out of the box. One is a RAID-0 with two disks (my Windows system drives) and another is a RAID-5 with 4 disks. The RAID-0 volume is automatically detected, and I can mount it via Nemo, but I don't see the RAID-5 anywhere.
I've done a bit of research to try and figure this out, but I can't find anything that explains in a straightforward manner how to do this. I'm scared of destroying my array and losing data.
All I've found was instructions to run
dmraid -s
and dmraid -r
. These list my volume and disks respectively, so they seem to be detected, but how do I mount the volume?
Here are some command outputs:
dmraid -s:
