    (solved) How to mount NTFS partition in FC6 on a RAID with ntfs-3g ?

    I am running a PC with SATA RAID 0 and Fedora Core 6. I installed ntfs-3g.
    I am having difficulties with mounting the NTFS partition that is placed on an extended partition on the RAID.
    Obviously fdsik -l lists only physical drives so I can't mount /dev/sda3.

    Anybody can help?

    OK, found the answer. The trick was to mount the device found under /dev/mapper/... instead of the physical /dev/sda3
    Following command did it:
    ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/isw_cghfgghddh_ARRAYp3 /mnt/windata

    Still doesn't work

    I tried this too but it still doesn't work.
    My fs structure is:

    # fdisk /dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd -l

    Disk /dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd: 320.0 GB, 320083591168 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38914 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd1 * 1 9036 72581638+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd2 9037 38914 239995035 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)

    /dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd6 13419 36364 184313713+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

    /dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd9 38762 38914 1228941 82 Linux swap / Solaris

    When I type:

    # ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd6 /mnt/windows/

    , I get this error message:

    Error opening partition device: No such file or directory
    Failed to startup volume: No such file or directory
    Failed to mount '/dev/mapper/nvidia_efegdffd6': No such file or directory

    Am I missing something?
