I am attempting to mount a disk via a USB docking station.
I have been informed that the disk was apart of a RAID1 system, however I see no sign of this so far.
Using fdisk -l I can see the disk:
$ fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdi: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Disk model: 03ABYZ-011FA0
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x0004db4d
Attempting to mount the drive with “mount”:
$ sudo mount /dev/sdi /mnt/sata_disk/
mount: /mnt/sata_disk: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdi, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
In dmesg I can see:
[Tue Sep 24 12:49:01 2024] EXT4-fs (sdi): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem

I have tried looking at /proc/mdstat, nothing there:
$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities :
unused devices: <none>
‘pvscan’ and ‘vgscan’ also return nothing:
$ sudo pvscan -v
No matching physical volumes found
$ sudo vgscan -v
No volume groups found.
Any help would be much appreciated.
