Step 4 Configure System to Mount Volumes when Startup

Now you can inform the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file

location /mnt/hpt after startup:

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

4 Updating the Driver

To update the driver with a new version you simply reinstall the driver following the previous

section, “Install the driver on an existing system”.

5 Installing RAID Management Software

HighPoint RAID Management Software is used to configure and keep track of your hard

disks and RAID arrays attached to RR2680 controller. Installation of the management

software is optional but recommended.

To configure HighPoint RAID Management Software to work with RR2680 driver, you

should setup /etc/hptcfg to be the driver name:

# echo rr2680 > /etc/hptcfg

Please refer to HighPoint RAID Management Software documents for more information.

6 Uninstalling

You can only uninstall the driver when your system is not booting from devices attached to

RR2680 controller. Just remove the line

rr2680_load=”YES”

in /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and then delete the driver module /modules/rr2680.ko or

/boot/kernel/rr2680.ko .
