Unmounted drive

Hello, I have a dedicated server on Hetzner, I had to install centos6 from image since they don't support this OS, but when I installed I found out that I have only one drive mounted, but in fact I have 2 drives in my server as you can see:


[root@CentOS-69-64-minimal ~]# lsblk

my question is how can I mount the second drive without losing my files/data on my whole server.

thank you.

    You can see only 1 Disk because it's in RAID just check your raid status. I think it's RAID-1

    Thanked by 1Hetzner_OL
  • Yes - Its raid 1.
    You can see by your lsblk output in your first screen.

    Personally I can see two hard drives sda and sdb, in RAID-1. I can see only one issue it’s just luck of server administration

    I just think ClarkSandam is a bit confused. He is seeing 2 disks but not understanding that they are in Raid 1.

    He's going to have to re-install in raid 0 or just install on 1 disk and then mount the 2nd disk. Not advised, but if he wants his full disk size available.....

    That being said - he needs to remove the raid and partitions before he re installs :smile:

    That's why asked him to give /proc/mdstat output, at first I thought he is asking that one of the disc is not mounted / attached to raid.
