Hey, I have a RAID+0 array and it has Win2k and Win98SE on them.
I was wondering what the commands are to mount a RAID (double drived) array is?
I tried "mount /dev/hde1 -t vfat /mnt/WinC"
but it spits out that vfat is not supported... my RAID arrays are detected (2.4.0) as hde and hdf.
Any help would be appreciated! I would just like to access the drives and copy some files over.

It sounds like you don't have vfat support in the kernel. You'll probably have to recompile the kernel or perhaps load a module if it's supported.

Hmm.. I recompiled my kernel and it seems to recognize VFAT now... but it still spits out that there's a problem with the major or minor # or something like that...
I'm just trying to access the RAID array. Maybe there is a way to enable virtual software raid or something? Somehow combine the two drives into one virtual partition, and then access it from there?
If so, what is the command?

looks like you are trying to use one of those new m/b with built in IDE RAID.Forget it http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
Put your drives on the regular IDE bus and go to www.linuxdoc.org (http://www.linuxdoc.org) and do a search for software raid.

Dang... I guess I'll have to wait for some HPT370 Linux support...
I don't wanna do Software Raid because all I really need to do is access the drives to copy some MP3s or whatnot off of them.
