mounting raid0 F7

[Duke42]

I have been looking to find a way to do this for 3 or 4 days now and have not been able to figure it out

I have 2 74 gig raptors raided raid 0 initially with windows raid utility, when i reformatted my C: to install F7 i set up the raid via my on board raid utility.

using dmraid I get this out put

/dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_ffhfagba", stripe, ok, 145226110 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sdc: nvidia, "nvidia_ffhfagba", stripe, ok, 145226110 sectors, data@ 0

this creates
control nvidia_ffhfagba nvidia_ffhfagba1 VolGroup00-LogVol00 VolGroup00-LogVol01
in /dev/mapper/

now when i try and mount these using the command

mount /dev/mapper/nvidia_ffhfagba /mnt/tmp

i get this as a response
mount: /dev/mapper/nvidia_ffhfagba already mounted or /mnt/tmp busy

so i try
mount /dev/mapper/nvidia_ffhfagba1 /mnt/tmp

Failed to read last sector (290422783): Invalid argument
Perhaps the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or the
wrong device was used, or the partition table is incorrect.
Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
Failed to mount '/dev/mapper/nvidia_ffhfagba1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/mapper/nvidia_ffhfagba1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?

am i going about this in the completely wrong fashion or am i just missing something subtle

thanks for your help, i tried not to post for as long as i could, but i cant find anything

thanks
Duke

In order to see what that partition type is, try:

fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_ffhfagba

If the lvm VolGroup00-LogVol00 and VolGroup00-LogVol01 are on the raid0 then those may be the ones you have you mount.
