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 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/rr26xx/. 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/rr26xx/x
This command will show the driver version number, physical device list and logical
device list.
5 - Updating the Driver
To update the driver, simply reinstall the driver following the steps in previous
section, “ Install RR26xx Driver on an Existing System “.
Replace the driver module rr26xx.ko in the /lib/modules/[kernel-ver]/kernel/drivers/
scsi/. If the driver is loaded in initrd (e.g. when system is installed on the controller),
