Note: If you have configured a RAID 10 using 4 disks, it will be registered to system
as device /dev/da0. You can use “/stand/sysinstall” to create partitions and
disklabels (like da0s1e) on da0. Then, create a new filesystem using “newfs /dev/
da0s1e
”. Now you can mount /dev/da0s1e to somewhere to access it

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

To avoid typing in “load rr2320” each time the operating system is booted, the system
must be instructed to automatically load the module during bootup. To configure the
system to automatically install the module, type in the following commands:

# echo ’rr2320_load=”YES”’ >> /boot/defaults/loader.conf

This command will instruct the loader to load the RocketRAID 2320 module together
with the kernel. After using this command, reboot the system. The RocketRAID 2320
module should now automatically load each time the operating system starts up.

Note: When using FreeBSD 4.x, type in the following command to configure the
system:

# mknod /dev/rr2320 c 200 0

Then, check to make sure the node “/dev/rr2320¡±, is present in the /dev directory.

Step 4 Configure the System to Mount Volumes at Startup

Instruct the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file /etc/fstab.

Example: Add the following line to instruct the system to mount /dev/da1s1e to

location /mnt/hpt after startup:

/dev/da1s1e /mnt/hpt ufs rw 0 0
