Hi Peter,
a)
in mnt create an empty folder ie petersdisk. its not cool to mount directly on /mnt it blocks other mounts. to say /mnt/cdrom …
if its not a new disk. stop. i know nothing about lvm2 (software raid) suggests this disk is actually one from a set of disks.
you probably cant mount the disk in isolation from its set. (a striped set would mean the file parts span multiple physical disks. )
if not and
b) this is a new disk…have you formated the partition yet? if i recall its mkfs.ext4 /dev/sde5 (substitute filesystem format as required? )
once formated them do: mount /dev/sde5 /mnt/petersdisk ext4
(obv my example chose ext4 just for illustration… i’m a bit out of date on whats best to use.. it can be subjective to the use case, but ext4 used to be the pref for a single everyday internal desktop drive)
finally add an entry to /etc/fstab
hope that helps
Jay
