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:Or:
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.
