Description

Attaches the IO Accelerator device and makes it available to the operating system. This creates a block

device in /dev named fiox (where x is a, b, c, and so on). Then, you might partition or format the IO

Accelerator device, or set it up as part of a RAID array. The command displays a progress bar and

percentage as it operates.

NOTE: In most cases, the IO Accelerator automatically attaches the device on load and does a

scan. You only have to run fio-attach if you ran fio-detach or if you set the IO Accelerator

second and third IO Accelerator devices installed on the system. You can also use a wildcard to indicate all

IO Accelerator devices on the system.
