How To Mount NTSF Nvidia Stripe RAID-0 Partitions In Ubuntu 9.04?
Ok, just a little background, I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 64 bit, and I'm a linux first time installer, so keep in mind that I'm a noob. That being said I'm pretty good with machines in general, and I've done a lot of research on getting this to work but I just can't for the life of me figure it out.
The basics:
-I have a RAID-0 set up via my motherboards (EVGA nForce 680i SLI) RAID controller.
-I have 2 drives in this array, 2x1TB WD Caviars.
-The array is formatted GPT in Windows and is being shared on my network.
-I have both OS's on two separate drives from the array, Ubuntu is installed on a 64GB SSD, and Windows on a 150GB WD Raptor.
-I want to allow the drive to be shared when I'm using Ubuntu as well, so that I don't lose any productivity.
The problem:
-I can't get Ubuntu to mount the RAID array.
Here are the steps I've taken

I tried to follow the steps here: http://
but when I run "sudo mount /dev/mapper/
I am returned:
"NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/mapper/
The device '/dev/mapper/
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? "
Please... someone... help?
Sorry for the long question, I figure the more info the better. If you need any other info just let me know, but this should be all thats needed to get this to work. I can't figure out why ubuntu can recognize the array but won't mount it???
