You haven't added any partitions to the raid set you created. And then you're trying to mount that using the raw mode device. Either you're reading a bad tutorial or didn't follow all the steps.
Add a partition and try mounting that using the block device, sd3, not rsd3. You owe it to yourself to read at least the sectiom of the faq covering disks. -noah On 2/22/13, Brandon Tanner <thelette...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > This is my first time posting to this list.
