IMPORTANT! 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.
