This driver is for Compaq's SMART Array Controllers. Supported Cards: ---------------- This driver is known to work with the following cards: * SA 5300 If notes are not already created in the /dev/cciss directory # mkdev.cciss [ctlrs] Where ctlrs is the number of controllers you have (defaults to 1 if not specified). Device Naming: -------------- You need some entries in /dev for the cciss device. The mkdev.cciss script can make device nodes for you automatically. Currently the device setup is as follows: Major numbers: 104 cciss0 105 cciss1 106 cciss2 etc... Minor numbers: b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0 |----+----| |----+----| | | | +-------- Partition ID (0=wholedev, 1-15 partition) | +-------------------- Logical Volume number The suggested device naming scheme is: /dev/cciss/c0d0 Controller 0, disk 0, whole device /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 1 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 2 /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 3 /dev/cciss/c1d1 Controller 1, disk 1, whole device /dev/cciss/c1d1p1 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 1 /dev/cciss/c1d1p2 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 2 /dev/cciss/c1d1p3 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 3
