What is the filesystem RN316 using as raid.
I have 6 raid disk used in RN316
Now I connected to these disks to another machine and assmble the raid.
$sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md130 /dev/sdf3 /dev/sde3 /dev/sdd3 /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdb3
mdadm: /dev/md130 has been started with 5 drives.
However, I can not mount this,
$sudo mount /dev/md130 /mnt/raid
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
it requre the filesystem type.
So I try this but in vain....
$sudomount -t ext4 /dev/md130 /mnt/raid
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md130,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Raid looks working
$sudo mdadm -D /dev/md130

Please use just one discussion thread.
Can you show us the partition information for all the drives?
Do you know if the NAS volume was ever vertically expanded?
Is BTRFS installed on the linux system?
