在Redhat 5 之前的版本中，系統通過/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices配置raw的控制文件，通過/etc/init.d/rawdevices來管理raw設備的啓動和關閉。而在Redhat 5之後，原來的raw設備接口已經取消了，redhat 5中通過udev規則進行配置。 要配置，需要編輯/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules 這個文件。
下面給出一個添加raw設備的測試過程。
1.現在虛擬機上添加一個硬盤。 我們僅做測試，所以分10M。
2. 啓動我們的虛擬機，連上後查看磁盤情況
[root@centos ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 16.1 GB, 16106127360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1958 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 201 1958 14121135 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1 200 1606468+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Disk /dev/sdb: 10 MB, 10485760 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 10 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
這裏的/dev/sdb 因爲是剛加上來的硬盤，還沒有格式化。
3. 格式化/dev/sdb
[root@centos ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
Command (m for help): n

p primary partition (1-4)

查看格式化之後的硬盤情況：
[root@centos ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 16.1 GB, 16106127360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1958 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 201 1958 14121135 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1 200 1606468+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Disk /dev/sdb: 10 MB, 10485760 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 10 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 10 10224 83 Linux
[root@centos ~]#
4. 修改/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules文件
[root@centos ~]# more /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
# Enter raw device bindings here.
#
# An example would be:
# ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
# to bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/sda, or
# ACTION=="add", ENV{MAJOR}=="8", ENV{MINOR}=="1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %M %m"
# to bind /dev/raw/raw2 to the device with major 8, minor 1.
設備名稱：
ACTION=="add", KERNEL="<device name>", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/rawX %N"
主／次號碼：
ACTION=="add", ENV{MAJOR}="A", ENV{MINOR}="B", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/rawX %M %m"
用你需要綁定的設備名稱替換 <device name>（如：/dev/sda1）。"A" 和 "B" 是設備的主／次號碼，X 是系統使用的 raw 設備號碼。在設置的時候，主次號碼是可選的。 如果不指定，默認從1，1開始，
如：/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 1, minor 1
現在我們把/dev/sdb1 知道到raw1上，就可以在/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules文件裏添加如下內容：
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sdb1",RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
5. 重啓服務：
[root@centos ~]# start_udev
[root@centos ~]# start_udev
Starting udev: [ OK ]
6. 查看raw設備：
[root@centos ~]# ls -lrt /dev/raw
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 162, 1 Aug 8 06:56 raw1
[root@centos ~]# raw -aq
/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 1, minor 1
如果我們添加了下面的語句：
ACTION=="add", ENV{MAJOR}=="8",ENV{MINOR}=="1",RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %M %m"
那麼就會顯示我們指定的Major和minor。
[root@centos ~]# ls -lrt /dev/raw
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 dave tianlesoftware 162, 1 Aug 8 08:06 raw1
[root@centos ~]# raw -aq
/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 8, minor 1
7. 設置raw設備的用戶和權限信息
在/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules文件裏添加如下信息：
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="raw1", OWNER="dave", GROUP="tianlesoftware", MODE="660"
如果有多個raw設備，可以寫成：
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="raw[1-4]", OWNER="dave", GROUP="tianlesoftware", MODE="660"
查看結果：
[root@centos ~]# start_udev
Starting udev: [ OK ]
[root@centos ~]# ls -lrt /dev/raw
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 dave tianlesoftware 162, 1 Aug 8 06:59 raw1
[root@centos ~]# raw -aq
/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 1, minor 1
8. 取消raw 映射
把major and minor設成0，就可以取消裸設備的綁定。
[root@rac1 mapper]# raw /dev/raw/raw9 0 0
