Several years ago I bought two WD usb hard drives.
I intended to configure them as a RAID1. I might have not done it correctly.
Today I can't access the data.
If I plug in the drives and run lsusb, they show up:
> lsusb
Bus 004 Device 011: ID 1058:25a3 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Elements Desktop (WDBWLG)
Bus 004 Device 012: ID 1058:25a3 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Elements Desktop (WDBWLG)
If I run lsblk, they show up, but they are not mounted:
>lsblk
sde 8:64 0 3.7T 0 disk
└─sde1 8:65 0 3.7T 0 part
If I only plug in one of the drives, it shows up in lsusb, but not in lsblk.
If I try to mount the drive, I get an error:
> sudo mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/data
mount: /mnt/data: wrong fs bypte, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
running fdisk yields
