/dev/md0 is a metadevice that describes a raid5 disk volume, it's not
a directory. While I'm not clear on what exactly you're doing from
your post, I have a sneaking suspicion that you've not mounted the
device anywhere. What I believe you want to do is something akin to
the following:
# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/md0
# mount -t ext3 /mnt
# service stop httpd
# cp -a /var/www/html/* /mnt
# rm -rf /var/www/html/*
# umount /mnt
# mount -t ext3 /dev/md0 /var/www/html
# restorecon -R -v /var/www/html
# service httpd start
This creates an extended 3 filesystem on the new raid device, mounts
it in a temporary location, copies your existing web content to it,
removes the web content from the old location, and the replaces it
with the new raid device. The restorecon is self-explanitory as are
the service commands.
If this isn't the issue, can you please give some more detail on the
problem you're experiencing?
