1. To create a partition on this array (which will listed as /dev/sda1), use the “fdisk /dev/sda”
command.
2. Next, use the “mkfs /dev/sda1” command to setup a file system on this partition.
3. Use the command “mkdir xxxx” to create a mount point for the RAID array. Then, mount
/dev/sda1 /xxxx in order to access it.
Note: xxxx represents the desired name of the mount point.
Step 4 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver
To avoid typing in "insmod hptmv 6.o" each time the operating system is booted, the system must be
instructed to automatically load the module during bootup. To install the module, type in the following
commands (first change to the directory where the proper hptmv 6.ko file is located):
1. Edit the file “/etc/sysconfig/kernel”, and add the hptmv6 module to the line
“INITRD_MODULES=…”
Example:
INITRD_MODULES=”reiserfs hptmv 6”
2. Run the “depmod” command to update the module configuration:
# depmod
3. Next, run the “mkinitrd” command to update the initrd file:
# mkinitrd
4. If you are using the lilo boot loader, run lilo again:
# lilo
Step 5 Configure System to Mount Volumes during Startup
The system can be instructed to automatically mount the array(s) during startup by modifying the
file”/etc/fstab”.
For example, 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
