File System Mounting Examples
Since the system restores xiRAID Classic RAIDs after loading an appropriate Linux core and sending a RAID-restore command, to perform automatic mounting at system startup of file systems for these RAIDs, use one of the following instructions.
To set up automatic mounting at system startup, we recommend using systemd.mount.
systemd.mount
Example: mounting xfs located on a RAID /dev/xi_raidname into /mnt/raid/ through systemd.mount:
Create a file at /etc/systemd/system/ with the mount options.
The file name must match the path of the mount directory with "/" replaced by "-" (for example, for /mnt/raid the file name will be "mnt-raid.mount").
The example file /etc/systemd/system/mnt-raid.mount

Run the command
# systemctl daemon-reload
Enable automatic mounting at system startup:
# systemctl enable mnt-raid.mount
Start the service to mount the file system:
# systemctl start mnt-raid.mount
/etc/fstab
Make sure to only use the block device name, such as /dev/xi_raidname, and not the UUID or LABEL.
Example: mounting xfs located on a RAID /dev/xi_raidname into /mnt/raid/ through /etc/fstab:
