Trouble Mounting Raid5 Hardware Array
Solution 1:
Presumably /dev/sda
is the presentation of your Hardware RAID. I would say that it looks like you have not yet created a filesystem on your virtual disk.
mkfs.ext4 -L bigdata /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda1/mnt # mount it
But before you do, consider whether you would prefer to have a filesystem that's 25TB or whether it would be more useful to have that assigned as a logical space (LVM) from which you can carve filesystems as necessary
pvcreate /dev/sda1 # disk partition to use
vgcreate myvg /dev/sda1 # "myvg" is name of the logical volume group
lvcreate /dev/myvg --name mylv --size 100G # "mylv" is logical disk volume
mkfs.ext4 -L myext4 /dev/myvg/mylv # create filesystem
mount /dev/myvg/mylv /mnt # mount it
The key to success with LVM is not to assign the entire space to a single filesystem, but to grow it (within reason) as required.
