Re: Problems adding ext3 file system to software raid

[Stephen Gevers <steve gevers5 com>]

The problem may be that there is one or more processes which have open 
files (including the working directory) which are preventing you from 
unmounting the device.  I don't think that the raid has anything to do 
with it.  Try entering the command "fuser -m /dev/md0" to get a list of 
process ids of processes using the md0 device.

How do you have it formatted now?  What are the results of a "mount" 
command?  It should tell you what file systems are mounted (including 
/raid) and what file system type the device is.

Once you manage to get the device unmounted, you can simply invoke the 
command "mkfs -t  ext3 /dev/md0" to make an ext3 filesystem on it.
