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?
