Failed to mount ' /dev/sda1':

Failed to mount '/dev/sda1':

So I am not a programmer at all. I built this OMV a while back, put in a raid 5. I then added other drives to copy over to raid. Somewhere along the line I get this error every time I click on the "Apply" button in the upper right corner.(Apply the configuration changes) How do I determine which drive it is and apply the missing drive to sda1? ( I have 5 drives I used to copy over material to the raid)
What is fstab?

Thanks for any help

I get a message Error "big red circle with an X in it" stating "Failed to mount ' /dev/sda1':"
with the details listed below:
Error #6000:
exception 'OMVException' with message 'Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': ' in /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/module/fstab.inc:90

Ok here is the fstab report if it helps.

Thanks

NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

I think sda1 is not connected anymore but it tries to mount it whenever I click on the apply button. Which it makes me do all the time

I do not have the drive connected, I dont even know which one it is. I did not add entry to fstab, would not know how to if i had to

Im afraid to click y this says it is mounted.

root@NAS-DG:~# fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
/dev/sda1 is mounted.

WARNING!!! The filesystem is mounted. If you continue you ***WILL***
cause ***SEVERE*** filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)?

Yes that is a bad habit I will stop now LOL
