Chapter 6. 3ware Disk Manager (3DM 2) Uninstalling 3DM under Linux or FreeBSD To uninstall 3DM for Linux or FreeBSD 1 Insert the 3ware software installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. 2 Mount the CD-ROM disk: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt 3 Change the directory and run the uninstall script: (For FreeBSD, replace "linux" with "freebsd" in the path shown in this step.) For Linux: cd /mnt/packages/3dm2/linux/x86 ./install.3dm --u Note that if you downloaded 3DM from the web, replace "/mnt/" in the previous command with "/root/" 4 Eject the CD-ROM disk when finished: cd /home eject cdrom Note: If 3DM Linux is reinstalled or restarted, close any open web browsers before starting 3DM again to close the server socket. 72 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
