Hello,
- Cant mount it > it says "is already mounted" ?
- Check attached image.
- Also tried to create a new folder /mnt/recovery - and mount it here instead of /mnt/sdb3 but no luck - seems something is preventing me from accessing this.
- Can you help me remotely? (ssh access)

Why are you trying to mount a partition from a disk? You're entering the wrong command
To mount the root volume you would mount /dev/md0
To mount the data volume you would mount /dev/c/c- divisionmdNov 15, 2016Aspirant
Hello,
- Just dont get where the drive is mounted.
- The /dev/md0 > i can mount and looks ok - but no files here.
- The /dev/c/c does not exist? cant mount it - what am i doing wrong here.
- Want to mount the disk were the files are so i can restore them to remote destination.
Thanks for all help,
Best regards,
Johan
