33 .Nd device driver for Promise Supertrak SX6000
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following line in your
37 kernel configuration file:

49 This driver is for the Promise Supertrak SX6000 ATA hardware RAID controller.
50 It supports (in hardware) RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5 and JBOD on up to
51 6 ATA disk drives, including automatic rebuild and hotswap, and supports
52 signalling disk status on LEDs on Promise Superswap disk enclosures.
53 The Supertrak line of controllers does not support non-disk devices.
57 driver supports the Promise Supertrak SX6000 ATA hardware RAID
62 driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need
63 to be set up from the onboard BIOS.
64 However, hot swap, hot spare, and
65 automatic rebuilds are supported without a reboot.
