Problem of mount

The below is my fdisk -l output where sanpath1..2...3 is the path for SAN device , the sda , sdb , sdc , sdd is local harddrive ( the size info is ignore ) .
p.s. I am strange that /dev/sanpathd1 is missing in the fdisk list

/dev/sanpatha
/dev/sanpathb1
/dev/sanpathc1
/dev/sanpathe1
/dev/sanpathf1
/dev/sanpathg1
/dev/sanpathh1
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2
/dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc3
/dev/sdd1
/dev/sdd5
/dev/sde1
/dev/sdf1
/dev/sdg1
/dev/sdh1
/dev/sdi1
/dev/sdj1

Now , there is strange problem in my server, when I mount the /dev/sdd5 "mount /dev/sdd5 /tmp/share1" , the below is the error message

mount /dev/sdd5 /tmp/share1
/dev/sdd5: Invalid argument
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

then I try " mount /dev/sdd1 /tmp/share1" , it can mount but very strange that the /tmp/share1 has been mount to the SAN device , I guess it mount to /dev/sanpathd1 ( it should be mount to local harddrive /dev/sdd ) , can advise why it has mount to SAN , how to force it mount to local harddrive , what is the difference between /dev/sdd1 and /dev/sdd5 ? I didn't partition the harddrive , thx in advance.

Hello hangyu!

What are the filesystem type? ext3, 2 or another?

try to mount specifing the filesystem type.

Also, the mount target is created?

What are the filesystem type? ext3, 2 or another? - ext3

try to mount specifing the filesystem type.
- I try "mount -t ext3 ....." , but it still have the same error .
Also, the mount target is created? - I sure the mount target is created.
