SuSE Raw Device Administration
Administer raw disk partitions in the /etc/raw file, which is a plain text file containing
comments and examples for possible configurations:
# /etc/raw
#
# sample configuration to bind raw devices
# to block devices
#
# The format of this file is:
# raw<N>:<blockdev>
#
# example:
# ---------
# raw1:hdb1
#
# this means: bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/hdb1
#
# ...
raw1:sda7
raw2:sda8
raw3:sda9
Once you have created them, bind the raw devices by starting them with the script /etc/
init.d/raw:
# cd /etc/init.d
# sh raw start
bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/sdb1... done
bind /dev/raw/raw2 to /dev/sdb2... done
bind /dev/raw/raw3 to /dev/sdb3... done
...
Use the chkconfig(8) utility to guarantee that the raw device binding occurs during any restart:
# /sbin/chkconfig raw on
