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 ext2 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/. Through this file you can

view driver status and send control commands to the driver.

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.
