Okay I see ar0, that is for a raid array and I see ad1 and ad0.
If I assume ad1 is connected to the J-micron controller
you'd mount it like /dev/ad1s1 /media/Backup
ata is the controller and so you must mount block devices..in other
words a device that has a block type file structure. Hard drives tend to
be part of ad0, ad1, ad2, ad3, etc. RAID arrays are parte of ar0, ar1,
ar2, ar3, etc.
ad0s1 denotes a "slice" or low-level partition and ad0s1a denotes a
high-level partition like /, /etc, /var, etc.
Good luck and let us know ;)!
