I have an external HHD that has somehow been formatted as 'linux-raid' when I look at it in gParted. I have no idea how I have accidentally done this but I guess I misused some new feature of an open source tool I use.
$fdisk -l

I have looked at this answer but I want to confirm before trying this as I did not use mdadm directly. I don't know how to even confirm what type of RAID is being used. If RAID 1 perhaps I can use this answer but I know I do not have enough local storage to copy the files across.
I am using arch.
