I created RAID 5 form 3 hard drives. Formatted as ext4 this raid array. Created VG0 group and lv_home logical volume in LVM. Then I tried to mount default /home directory on lv_home, while trying to mount logical volume lv_home to folder containing user profiles /home, getting error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/VG0-lv_home

next is seems to be symbolic link:

# file -s /dev/VG0/lv_home
/dev/VG0/lv_home: symbolic link to `../mapper/VG0-lv_home'

then

# file -s /dev/mapper/VG0-lv_home
/dev/mapper/VG0-lv_home: data

and
