Load dmraid

Load device-mapper and find RAID sets:

# modprobe dm_mod
# dmraid -ay
# ls -la /dev/mapper/

Example output:

/dev/mapper/control            <- Created by device-mapper; if present, device-mapper is likely functioning
/dev/mapper/sil_aiageicechah   <- A RAID set on a Silicon Image SATA RAID controller
/dev/mapper/sil_aiageicechah1  <- First partition on this RAID Set

If there is only one file (/dev/mapper/control), check if your controller chipset module is loaded with lsmod. If it is, then dmraid does not support this controller or there are no RAID sets on the system (check RAID BIOS setup again). If correct, then you may be forced to usesoftware RAID (this means no dual-booted RAID system on this controller).

If your chipset module is NOT loaded, load it now. For example:

# modprobe sata_sil

See /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ata/ for available drivers.

To test the RAID sets:

# dmraid -tay

加载dmraid

加载device-mapper并寻找RAID:

# modprobe dm_mod
# dmraid -ay
# ls -la /dev/mapper/

输出例子:

/dev/mapper/control            <- 由device-mapper生成;如果存在，device-mapper是工作的。
/dev/mapper/sil_aiageicechah   <- Silicon镜像SATA RAID控制器下的一个RAID集
/dev/mapper/sil_aiageicechah1  <- 该RAID的第一个分区

如果只有(/dev/mapper/control)，用lsmod检查您是否加载了控制芯片的模块。如果加载了,那么dmraid不支持该控制芯片或系统没有RAID集(再检查一下BIOS中的RAID设置)。如果还是正确的，那您只能用software RAID (也就是说您不能用双启动的RAID系统)。

如果你的芯片模块没有加载，加载它，如:

# modprobe sata_sil

可用的驱动参见/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ata/。

测试RAID:

# dmraid -tay
