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
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 to
location /mnt/ /mnt/ /mnt/ /mnt/raid raid raid raid after startup:

There is a special file under /proc/scsi/rr2680/.

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
