MAKE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING! + +Please remember to reinstall this port after kernel source update. Using AoE +devices on boot is a little tricky because the network must be up before the +system can access an AoE device. The current rc boot method for automounting +filesystems will not work with AoE devices; vinum and mount -a are both run +before bringing up the network. + +In order to use AoE devices on boot a few rc.conf variables have been defined +that permit the boot script (/etc/rc.d/aoe) to initialize systems using AoE +devices after the network is up. They are as follows: + + aoe_enable Set to "Yes" to enable the aoe startup script. + aoe_iflist A space separated string of interfaces valid for AoE. + aoe_wc Set to "1" to enable write cache on AoE device. + aoe_mounts A space seperated string of AoE device nodes to be mounted. + (An entry for each needs to be in /etc/fstab as well with the + "noauto" option.) + +For example, the following added to /etc/rc.conf: + + aoe_enable="Yes" + aoe_iflist="em0 em1" + aoe_wc="1" + aoe_mounts="/dev/aoed0s1a /dev/aoed1s1a" + +and the following added to /etc/fstab: + + # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# + /dev/aoed0s1a /mnt/a ufs rw,noauto 0 0 + /dev/aoed1s1a /mnt/b ufs rw,noauto 0 0 + +will automatically start the AoE driver and mount the /mnt/a and /mnt/b +"blades". See aoe(4) and http://www.coraid.com/support/freebsd/usingaoe.html +for more information. + +-stacey. + +IMPORTANT!
