   MCC should get it right.  Is it something to do with RAID? It is the first   
   time I have seen a colon in a directory path.   
      
   It looks like being unable to mount the partition.  Try running the "mount"   
   command in a terminal and look for error messages.   
      
   But I am even less qualified to comment.
