software raid / root partition
Hi all,
I'm trying to copy my root partition over to my huge new softraid array 
The approach I chose because it seems to me the most useful was to mount the
raid0a partition to /mnt and then use
dump 0af - /dev/wd0a | restore xf -
however, the a partition doesn't seem to mountable under /mnt:
# raidctl -A root raid0
raid0: Autoconfigure: Yes
raid0: Root: Yes
# mount /dev/raid0a /mnt
mount_ffs: /dev/raid0a on /mnt: Inappropriate file type or format
How would you solve this?
Regards,
Dorian

have you created a file system on /dev/raid0a i.e. newfs /dev/rraid0a

mmh - however, fsck'ing rraid0a enabled mounting of raid0a ... I'msometimes
not in it
