We recently had a power outage in the building, which lasted longer than my UPS could handle. When I booted up my server, I could no longer mount my drive, getting the following error:
root@Eir:~# mount /dev/md0 /mnt/EirStorage/
mount: /dev/md0: can't read superblockAfter fiddling about with mdadm as that’s what I used to create my /dev/md0 raid, I realized that everything was correct with the raid, still, but the issue was with the drive not being properly unmounted… Yes, exactly… Like when you pull out a USB before asking Windows nicely.
I proceeded to run the command fsck -p /dev/md0 (-p stands for “automatic repairs, no questions asked”). After which it ran the lines below:
root@Eir:~# fsck -p /dev/md0
fsck from util-linux 2.29.2
/dev/md0: recovering journal
Journal checksum error found in /dev/md0
/dev/md0 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

Indeed it told me that the drive was not cleanly unmounted, and on top, solved a little extra issue.
I could then run mount /dev/md0 /mnt/EirStorage without issues.
I hope this helps you too!
