Chapter 7

Preparing the Linux Driver

Ensure that there is another computer with a Linux-based OS to create the RAID

driver. When creating the RAID driver, you may refer to the examples below which

uses a 64bit SUSE Linux system to create a 64bit RAID driver for SUSE11 sp1.

1. Copy the image le into the Linux system.

Example: megasr-15.00.0120.2012-1-sles11-ga-x86_64.img

2. Create a folder.

Example: image

3. Mount the image le into the image folder using this command format:

mount -oloop [image le name] image

Example: mount -oloop megasr-15-15.00.0120.2012-1-sles11-ga-x86__

64.img image

4. Copy the contents of the image directory, labeled as 01, into a FAT32 USB

drive.
