ARRAY /dev/md/helios4:0 metadata=1.2 name=helios4:0 UUID=803a730b:7e13a859:08b9725e:c2eff9d5
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We can see that an existing array has been detected as */dev/md/helios4:0* .
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You might want to check directly /proc/mdstat to find the device number. This will be easier to use when configuring your mounting points.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cat /proc/mdstat

As we can see here the array is identified as device **md127** (/dev/md127).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then refer to previous [section](/mdadm/#save-the-array-layout) to save the array layout in mdadm configuration and mount the file system but take in consideration that now device name is **/dev/md127** not anymore /dev/md0.
