Server Fault Asked on January 25, 2021
I have an ubuntu server that i had to restart on rescue mode and i am trying to mount a partition to reset the root password. I followed the instruction of the hosting company but got stuck and haven heard from them
When i try to do
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
i got this error:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
This is the output of fdisk -l

How can i mount the disk?
Your RAID devices are called /dev/md1
and /dev/md2
. It's possible that these contain your filesystems; you could try:
mount /dev/md1 /mnt
Or:
mount /dev/md2 /mnt
Depending on how your system is configured it is also possible that these devices are themselves part of a larger virtual device. If you're unable to mount the individual devices, let us know and we'll work from there.

I recently found a way to complete this and it's not too complicated.
I found this article, which helped out considerably. https://ahelpme.com/linux/recovering-md-array-and-mdadm-cannot-get-array-info-for-dev-md0/
I ran these commands and had success.
sudo mdadm --assemble --scan --verbose
sudo cat /proc/mdstat
once you figure out which disk you want to mount...
mount /dev/md# /mnt/point
