I am a bit of a linux newbie, and i have come across an error that i dont really know how to troubleshoot.



my idea is to cram 6TiB drives into a box, make three sets of raid1, then stretch a logical volume over the three raided sets. then make a samba share with an NTFS filesystem for a neat fileserver for a small production environment.



here is my error:



user@FSrv:~$ sudo mount /dev/box1/Recordings /rec -t ntfs
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/mapper/box1-Recordings': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/mapper/box1-Recordings' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
user@FSrv:~$


here is lsblk:



user@FSrv:~$ sudo lsblk

here is fdisk -l : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1623016/



Here is pvdisplay, vgdisplay, and lvdisplay: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1623019/



Does anyone know what the root cause would be? Or what my next troubleshooting step would be?

You probably have not created a filesystem on the partitions; see man mkfs.ntfs. Just setting the partition type is not enough.
