Formatting Raid Device
mkfe2fs -j /dev/md0
mkdir /ab
Mounting Raid Device under directory /ab
mount /dev/md0 /ab
df -h -- shows the mounted raid device on a folder
mdadm -D /dev/md0 -- shows the details of the raid-device

mkdir /ac
mount /dev/md0 /ac
df -h shows the mounted filesystem on the raid system currentyly
mdadm -D /dev/md0 -- shows the details of the raid-device
to stop a raid device first umount the device
umount /ac
Stopping Raid Device:
mdadm -S /dev/md0 -- the raid device will be stoped
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raid level -5 creating a stripped disk with parity
Creating Raid Device:
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 3 /dev/sda{5,6} dev/sda7
creating array ? y
Formatting the RaidDevice:
mke2fs -j /dev/md0
