I'm using Ubuntu server 12.04 on my HP Proliant microserver.

I am using webmin/vnc/ssh to administer it.

I'm trying to mount a drive which I had previously used on the same kit but with OpenMediaVault. In OMV I had formatted the disk as xfs.

When I try to access the disk in Ubuntu I get:

Unable to mount Drive1 - Not Authorized

I've tried mounting the disk in Webmin but it has no option for xfs.

I'm quite new to Linux so can anyone assist me?

sudo mount -t xfs /dev/sdb /mnt/Main results in error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so – user81961 Aug 7 '12 at 21:10

It looks like you are trying to mount the entire disk (/dev/sdb) rather than a partition on the disk (such as /dev/sdb1). Do you know which partition on the disk you need to mount? It's probably sdb1, but not necessarily.
