Linux(Fedora,Red Hat,SuSE) Driver Support
Step 4 Configure System to Mount Volumes when Startup
Now you can inform the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file /
etc/fstab. E.g. you can add the following line to tell the system to mount /dev/sda1 to
location /mnt/raid after startup:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/raid ext3 defaults 0 0
4 - Monitoring the Driver
Once the driver is running, you can monitor it through the Linux proc file system
support. There is a special file under /proc/scsi/rr2644/.
Note:The file name is the SCSI host number allocated by OS. If you have no other
SCSI cards installed, it will be 0. In the following sections, we will use x to represent
this number.
Checking Devices Status
Using the following command to show driver status:
# cat /proc/scsi/rr2644/x
This command will show the driver version number, physical device list and logical
device list.
5 - Updating the Driver
1. If the original driver is installed in the system initrd file (e.g. when OS is installed
to RR2644 controller), you can update the driver as below:
# cp rr2644.ko /lib/modules/`uname –r`/updates/
# mkinitrd `uname –r`
For FC2, the commands should be
# cp rr2644.ko /lib/modules/`uname –r`/kernel/drivers/scsi/
# mkinitrd –-preload scsi_mod –-preload sd_mod –-with=rr2644 /
