According to http://lwn.net/Articles/534630/ Ramsan has block device driver in Linux, named rsxx. RHEL 6 has it compiled as a module:
[iliyap_at_z103188 ~]$ cat /boot/config-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 |grep BLK_DEV_RS CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RSXX=m [iliyap_at_z103188 ~]$ sudo modprobe rsxx [iliyap_at_z103188 ~]$ lsmod |grep rsxx rsxx 44712 0
It seems that block devices should appear as /dev/rsXX<N>.
