Hi all--I have a FW800 RAID0 drive that won't mount. History and attempts:
Mac Mini Server 2011 quad i7 2.0gHz, 10.8.5
Tuarus Mini LCM FW800 case
2x500gb WD Cavier Black 2.5" drives, set to RAID0 (hardware)
It worked fine until I tried to daisy-chain another FW800 drive to it (which worked fine plugged directly in). They CLAIM you can daisy chain FW800, but I've never been able to on any system. Figured I'd give it a try. It didn't work.
Since then, rebooted for another reason (iTunes wouldn't start after update). iTunes working fine now, but the FW drive won't mount. Disk Utility sees it, but when I try to mount it says "Mount failed. The disk CashyMonkey could not be mounted. Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
Ran first aid, fixed a catalogue tree issue, says it's good (all subsequent first aid runs find no problem). Still getting the error when trying to mount.
In terminal, tried "mount /dev/disk2s1", received "mount: /dev/disk2s1: unknown special file or file system." Tried "diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk2s1", got "One or more volume(s) failed to mount". As descriptive and thorough as those explanations are not, I am unable to figure out how to mount. The drive isn't the most crucial in my set-up, most of the info and stored virtualbox drives and the like are backed up, but all of my download links (including DropBox) are stored on it and I'd like to not have to try anything destructive if at all avoidable.
Any thoughts? I debated hooking it up to my linux repair netbook and doing some drive scans, but would like to avoid that if at all possible...
