Just an update on this. After faffing around trying to recover the
failing disk, I decided to replace it and start afresh.
I formatted 2 1TB drives with ext4 and created a new md volume as
RAID1. However they are taking many hours to sync, despite being empty.
Is this normal?
Also, I presume I should mount the md device, using an fstab entry like
this:
/dev/md0 /raid ext4 defaults 0 0
but attempts to do that give an error:
mount: /raid: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0, missing
codepage or helper program, or other error.
Clearly I'm missing something basic, but what? This is the current
layout:
# sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md0
